Abstract
This rule amends the Department of Energy clothes washer test procedure to test for compliance with the existing energy conservation standard. It also establishes a new clothes washer test procedure which will be used to analyze, and will apply to, anticipated revisions to the existing clothes washer energy conservation standards. This rule also modifies reporting requirements for clothes washers, clothes dryers, and dishwashers, requiring manufacturers and private labelers to submit energy factor data on their certification reports to the Department.
