DOE is the abbreviation for the Department of Energy. DOE certification is an energy efficiency certification issued by the DOE according to relevant U.S. electronic and electrical regulations. The main purpose of issuing this certification is to improve product efficiency, reduce energy consumption, save energy, and reduce the greenhouse effect.

DOE certification is mandatory in U.S. energy efficiency certification. Level IV was mandatory on July 1, 2011, and Level VI on February 2016. Therefore, products in the catalog must undergo DOE certification to successfully enter the U.S. market.

Internationally, energy consumption is generally divided into three parts: buildings (commercial and residential), industry, and transportation, where the energy consumption of residential and commercial buildings mainly comes from household appliances, energy-consuming equipment, and lighting electricity. DOE is a requirement of the U.S. Department of Energy, with no certification mark, but products sold to the U.S. must meet the minimum requirements of the Department of Energy, so DOE application is necessary.

DOE regulates many appliances and consumer electronics, including EPS, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, household heating equipment, microwave ovens, battery chargers, ceiling fan light kits, fluorescent lamp ballasts, etc.
