Important updates
01. General Service Lamps (GSLs) DOE CCMS submission requirements
General Service Lamps (GSLs) are products that establish initial certification regulations.

However, 210 days after the release of the new regulation, on April 17, 2025, manufacturers or importers will be required to upload certification reports on the DOE CCMS system in accordance with the requirements of the new regulation.

02. Update of certification report template for external power supply (EPS) and battery charger (BCS)

04. Latest DOE Certification Rules - Effective and Compliance Dates
The approved report requires that the effective date of the amendment be 75 days after the publication of this final rule in the Federal Register, which is December 4, 2024.
