The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") establishes a test procedure for fans and blowers, including air circulating fans, and incorporates by reference the relevant industry test standards for: measuring the fan electrical input power and determining the fan energy index of fans and blowers other than air-circulating fans; and measuring the fan airflow in cubic feet per minute per watt of electric power input of air-circulating fans. In this final rule, DOE also establishes supporting definitions, requirements for alternative efficiency determination methods, and sampling requirements.

The effective date of this rule is May 31, 2023. All representations of energy efficiency and energy use, including those made on marketing materials and product labels, must be made in accordance with this test procedure beginning October 30, 2023. To the extent the test procedure established in this document is required only for the evaluation and issuance of newly established efficiency standards, use of the test procedure is not required until the implementation date of such new standards. The incorporation by reference of certain materials listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register on May 31, 2023.
