Update on DOE VI Registration Information on the U.S. Department of Energy Website

28.9.2017

Recent

Since around March this year, we have received many from customers regarding the lack of information previously registered under DOE VI on the U.S. Department of Energy's website.

Registration Information Must Be Updated Annually

Since the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a revised version of the EISA 2007 External Power Supply (EPS) energy efficiency standards on February 10, 2014 (effective and enforceable from February 10, 2016), many power supply manufacturers have been submitting initial registration and other applications on behalf of their customers via the DOE website after completing their application data reports. It appears that during the DOE's annual data maintenance process, conducted around September 30 each year, registrations older than one year are automatically removed from the website. Furthermore, according to the U.S. federal safety regulations (10 CFR 430), when a product is imported into the U.S. and is subject to spot checks by U.S. Customs or the Department of Energy (DOE), it is verified whether the website registration information is updated.

Therefore, we strongly recommend ensuring that the registration period does not exceed one year and that all information is updated within the designated update period on the DOE website.

Our Company’s Response Policy

Since we are not an importer in the U.S., we kindly ask our customers to carry out the registration information updates related to DOE VI themselves.
However, if you qualify for DOE VI designation during the registration process or do not have the already obtained data report, we are able to provide the necessary documentation.

Our staff will guide you on whether that particular model is registered on the U.S. Department of Energy's website.
