[Case No. RF–032] 

Decision and Order Granting a Waiver 

to Samsung From the Department of 

Energy Residential Refrigerator and 

Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedures 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Decision and Order. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) gives notice of its decision 

and order in Case No. RF–032 that 

grants to Samsung Electronics America, 

Inc. (Samsung) a waiver from the DOE 

electric refrigerator and refrigeratorfreezer test procedures for specific basic 

models set forth in its petition for 

waiver. In its petition, Samsung 

provides an alternate test procedure that 

is identical to the test procedure DOE 

published in a final rule dated January 

25, 2012 (77 FR 3559) that 

manufacturers will be required to use 

starting in 2014. Under today’s decision 

and order, Samsung shall be required to 

test and rate these refrigerator-freezers 

using an alternate test procedure as 

adopted in that January 2012 final rule, 

which accounts for multiple defrost 

cycles when measuring energy 

consumption. 

DATES: This Decision and Order is 

effective November 1, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR 430.27(l)), 

DOE gives notice of the issuance of its 

decision and order as set forth below. 

The decision and order grants Samsung 

with a waiver from the applicable 

residential refrigerator and refrigeratorfreezer test procedures in 10 CFR part 

430, subpart B, appendix A1 for certain 

basic models of refrigerator-freezers 

with multiple defrost cycles, provided 

that Samsung tests and rates such 

products using the alternate test 

procedure described in this notice. 

Today’s decision prohibits Samsung 

from making representations concerning 

the energy efficiency of these products 

unless the product has been tested in a 

manner consistent with the provisions 

and restrictions in the alternate test 

procedure set forth in the decision and 

order below, and the representations 

fairly disclose the test results. 

Distributors, retailers, and private 

labelers are held to the same standard 

when making representations regarding 

the energy efficiency of these products.
