( updated February 2014 by Appliance Standards Awareness Projec t )

X = adopted standard (with effective date shown); tbd = pending standard

No shading = standard now preempted by equivalent or stronger nationa l standards; yellow (light shading) = state is implementing until

### The New York law specified standards and effective dates for some products (those with effective dates shown) and required ag ency rulemaking to determine standards for other products.

Products subject to ongoi ng rulemaking are mark ed “tbd.”

2 

### Products in this category include only DVD players and compact audio products (i.e. shelf systems, but not portable music players or c omponent systems)

.

3 

### All digital televis i on adapters must meet minimum national standards to receive the $40 f ederal coupon, therefore ASAP no longer recommends state standards.

4 

### The initial nation al standard s (effective 7/2008) apply to single

- voltage external power supplies (EPS) and have a narrower scope than most state standards. Some states will continue to

enforce standards for non

- covered EPS until February 2016 when updated national standards take effect.

### The 1992 national plumbing products standards (faucets, showerheads, toilets, and urinals) were waived in 2011. States are fr ee to set plumbing standa rds provided they are more stringent

than the 1992 national standards.

6 

### CA regulations implement the national standards for general service light bulbs one year earlier and accelerate the 2020 national standard to 2018.

7 

### The NV standard is exempt from f ederal preemption because it predates and is stronger than the national standard. It requires an efficacy of at least 25 lumens per watt.

8 

### T he initial national standards for general service incandescent lamps (GSILs) with similar l umen output to conventi onal 100

- watt bulbs went into effect in 2012, for those with similar lumen

o utput of conventional 75

- watt bulbs in 2013 and for those with similar o utput to conventional 60

- and 40

- watt bulbs in 2014. A second tier which applies to general services lamps ( GSILs,

CFLs and LEDs) and requires a standard with overall energy savings equal to or greater than a 45 l umens per watt minimum standard, is scheduled to take effect in 2020.

9 

### States with transformer standards pre

- dating state laws either had building cod e requirements or earlier state legislation for this product.

10 

### US DOE issued final national standards for medium voltage dry type transformers (and liquid immersed transformers) in October 2007 which became effective Jan. 2010. Updated standards

take effe ct 1/2016.

11 

### Preemption for this product occurred upon issuance of the final rule in 2007.

12 

### NY and RI metal halide lamp fixture standards are limited to fixtures which are designed and marketed to operate in a vertica l position. CA standards apply to ve rtical, base up fixtures as of

1/2006 and expand ed to all other fixtures regardless of position effective 1/2008.

## NOTES:

1. California has standards for some products not covered in this document.

2 . The last column sh ows the effective date for product s tandards either set by DOE, included in the 2005 and 2007 federal energy laws

, or in currently pending federal

legislation

. Under the general rules of federal preemption applied by these laws , states which set standards prior to federal enactment may enforce their state standards up

until the national standards become effective . But, states that have not yet set standards are preempted upon federal enactment

. (Note that there are some exc eptions to this

general rule.) State standards with no highlighting (no shading) are now preempted because (a) national standar ds are now in effect or (b) national standards will become

effective prior to the state implementation date. Those highlighted in yellow (light shading) will be implemented for some period of time before national standards take

effect. No federal preemptio n applies to those highlighted in blue.

3

. Unless otherwise shown, standards become effectiv e on January 1. Where two dates are shown, each date represents either two separate standards or one standard with

two levels or components which become effective on different dates.

14 

### The 2007 federal energy bill does not set a specific standard for furnace fans but instructs the DOE to set a standard by Jan uary 2014

.

15 

### States must seek and be granted waivers from federal preemption to implement state furnace and boiler standards. A petition from Massachusetts to enforce state gas furnace was denied by

U.S. DOE in October 2010.

16 

### The furnace standards in Maryland and New Hampshire only apply to natural gas and propane furnaces installed in new co nstruction.
