Oregon
Applicable Territory: Oregon, USA
Standard: Mandatory
Pre-empted by the U.S. Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 (H.R.6)
In June 2005, Oregon passed legislation setting minimum energy efficiency standards for 11 appliances. Those
products regulated by Oregon law and not currently covered by federal standards include: (Dates listed in parenthesis signify the effective year.)
- Automatic commercial icemakers* (2008)
- Metal halide lamp fixtures (2008)
- Single voltage external power supplies (2008)
- State-regulated incandescent reflector lamps (BRs, ERs, and R20s) (2007)
* Will be implemented for some time until federal standards take place.
Testing requirements and minimum efficiency standards are outlined in the regulations. The
standards do not apply to products installed in a mobile or manufactured home at the time of construction or designed expressly for installation and use in recreational vehicles. The law stipulates that
the State Department of Energy must periodically review the minimum energy efficiency standards and report to the Legislative Assembly when the standards need to be updated, due to federal action or to
the outcome of collaborative consultations with manufacturers and the energy departments of other states.
The standards become effective in progressive stages, beginning January 1, 2007 and
becoming fully operative January 1, 2009.
