Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In 

Freezers Test Procedure 

Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Public Meeting 

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is 

publishing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NOPR) for the test procedure rulemaking for 

walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers (WICF). 

The NOPR is the first document to be 

published in the test procedure rulemaking 

process. It will be followed by a final rule. At 

the NOPR stage, DOE proposes the 

procedures to be used to test WICF 

equipment for certification, compliance, and 

enforcement of the energy conservation 

standards. Interested parties are invited to 

review the NOPR, attend public meetings, and 

submit comments on DOE's approach.
