Decision and Order Granting a Waiver
to Sanyo From the Department of
Energy Residential Refrigerator and
Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedures
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Decision and Order.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) gives notice of the
decision and order (Case No. RF–022)
that grants Sanyo E&E Corporation
(Sanyo) a waiver from the DOE electric
refrigerator and refrigerator-freezer test
procedures for determining the energy
consumption of residential refrigeratorfreezers for the basic models set forth in
its petition for waiver. Under today’s
decision and order, Sanyo shall be
required to test and rate its hybrid wine
chiller/beverage center basic models
using an alternate test procedure that
requires Sanyo to test the wine chiller
compartment at 55 °F instead of the
prescribed temperature of 38 °F.
DATES: This Decision and Order is
effective August 16, 2012.

Bryan Berringer, U.S. Department of

SUMMARY:
In
accordance with Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR 430.27(l)),
DOE gives notice of the issuance of its
decision and order as set forth below.
The decision and order grants Sanyo a
waiver from the applicable residential
refrigerator and refrigerator-freezer test
procedures found in 10 CFR part 430,
subpart B, appendix A1 for certain basic
models of hybrid wine chiller/beverage

center, provided that Sanyo tests and
rates such products using the alternate
test procedure described in this notice.
Today’s decision prohibits Sanyo from
making representations concerning the
energy efficiency of these products
unless the product has been tested in a
manner consistent with the provisions
and restrictions in the alternate test
procedure set forth in the decision and
order below, and the representations
fairly disclose the test results.
Distributors, retailers, and private
labelers are held to the same standard
when making representations regarding
the energy efficiency of these products.
42 U.S.C. 6293(c).
Issued in Washington, DC, on August 9,
2012.
Kathleen B. Hogan,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy
Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy.
Decision and Order
In the Matter of: Sanyo E&E
Corporation (Case No. RF–022).
I. Background and Authority
Title III, Part B of the Energy Policy
and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA),
Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 6291–
6309, as codified) established the
Energy Conservation Program for
Consumer Products Other Than
Automobiles, a program covering most
major household appliances, which
includes the residential electric
refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers
that are the focus of this notice.1 Part B
includes definitions, test procedures,
labeling provisions, energy conservation
standards, and the authority to require
information and reports from
manufacturers. Further, Part B
authorizes the Secretary of Energy to
prescribe test procedures that are
reasonably designed to produce results
that measure energy efficiency, energy
use, or estimated operating costs, and
that are not unduly burdensome to
conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3)) The test
procedure for residential electric
refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers is
set forth in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B,
appendix A1.
DOE’s regulations for covered
products contain provisions allowing a
person to seek a waiver from the test
procedure requirements for a particular
basic model for covered consumer
products when (1) the petitioner’s basic
model for which the petition for waiver
was submitted contains one or more
design characteristics that prevent
testing according to the prescribed test
1 For editorial reasons, upon codification in the
U.S. Code, Part B was re-designated Part A.

procedure, or (2) when prescribed test
procedures may evaluate the basic
model in a manner so unrepresentative
of its true energy consumption
characteristics as to provide materially
inaccurate comparative data. 10 CFR
430.27(a)(1). Petitioners must include in
their petition any alternate test
procedures known to the petitioner to
evaluate the basic model in a manner
representative of its energy
consumption characteristics.
The Assistant Secretary for Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy (the
Assistant Secretary) may grant a waiver
subject to conditions, including
adherence to alternate test procedures.
10 CFR 430.27(l). Waivers remain in
effect pursuant to the provisions of 10
CFR 430.27(m).
Any interested person who has
submitted a petition for waiver may also
file an application for interim waiver of
the applicable test procedure
requirements. 10 CFR 430.27(a)(2). The
Assistant Secretary will grant an interim
waiver request if it is determined that
the applicant will experience economic
hardship if the interim waiver is denied,
if it appears likely that the petition for
waiver will be granted, and/or the
Assistant Secretary determines that it
would be desirable for public policy
reasons to grant immediate relief
pending a determination on the petition
for waiver. 10 CFR 430.27(g).
II. Sanyo’s Petition for Waiver:
Assertions and Determinations
On June 2, 2011, Sanyo submitted a
petition for waiver and application for
interim waiver (petition) from the test
procedure applicable to residential
electric refrigerators and refrigeratorfreezers set forth in 10 CFR Part 430,
subpart B, appendix A1. In its petition,
Sanyo seeks a waiver from the existing
DOE test procedure applicable to
refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers
under 10 CFR Part 430 for Sanyo’s
hybrid models that consist of singlecabinet units with a refrigerated
beverage compartment in the top
portion and a wine storage compartment
in the bottom of the units. DOE issued
guidance that clarified the test
procedures to be used for hybrid
products such as the Sanyo models at
issue here: https://www1.eere.energy.gov/
buildings/appliance_standards/
residential/pdfs/refrigerator_definition_
faq.pdf. This guidance specifies that
basic models such as the ones Sanyo
identifies in its petition, which do not
have a separate wine storage
compartment with a separate exterior
door, are to be tested according to the
DOE test procedure in Appendix A1,
with the temperatures specified therein.
