Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 317/2024

US : Energy Conservation Standards for Dishwashers

The US Department of Energy (DOE) published in the Federal Register (FR) of 24 April 2024 a direct final rule to adopt amended energy conservation standards for dishwashers.

2.The DOE has determined that the amended energy conservation standards for the subject products would result in significant conservation of energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified. These standards apply to all subject products manufactured in or imported into the US. The effective date of this rule is 22 August 2024.

3.If adverse comments are received by 12 August 2024, and the DOE determines that such comments may provide a reasonable basis for withdrawal of the direct final rule, a timely withdrawal of this rule will be published in the FR. If no such adverse comments are received, compliance with the amended standards established is required on and after 23 April 2027.

4.For details, please refer to the FR notice at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-04-24/pdf/2024-08212.pdf.
