Abstract: In order to ensure continued success and benefits to ENERGY STAR Program Partners, protect the integrity of the ENERGY STAR label, and enhance its effectiveness in the marketplace, EPA must ensure that products carrying the label and the manufacturers that are labeling them as ENERGY STAR meet appropriate program requirements. EPA asks for the following program information from ENERGY STAR product manufacturing Partners: 1) sign a Partnership Agreement supplying company contact information; 2) submit qualifying product information that EPA can, in turn, provide to consumers so they will know which products to purchase in order to save energy; 3) submit testing reports (for roof products and lighting only) to verify product qualification; 4) submit annual unit shipment data to ensure the program provides continued benefits to Partners; and 5) submit an application for a Partner of the Year Award, if Partner wishes to receive recognition for their efforts.
