Energy Star is a voluntary energy conservation program led by the US Environmental Protection Agency. There are currently seven countries and regions in the world participating in the US Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program, namely the United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union. In these countries and regions, the ENERGY STAR logo has a very high market acceptance, and the market share of ENERGY STAR in the US market is as high as 85%. The program currently includes energy efficiency product certification, energy efficient home projects, energy efficiency new home programs, and energy efficiency planning for buildings and plants. Among them, energy efficiency product certification is divided into electronic products, and gradually extended to home appliances, lighting equipment, and construction products. At present, it covers nearly eight kinds of products, including electronics, home appliances, lamps and fans, office equipment, refrigeration and heating equipment, water heaters, and construction products.

Lighting product certification is an important part of the ENERGY STAR program, mainly for solid-state lighting products for general lighting, including decorative products with significant lighting functions, both for commercial applications and residential products. The V1.1 standard came into effect on February 1, 2009. In January 2017, the standard V2.0 has replaced the original V1.1 standard. In June, the EPA released the ENERGY STAR bulb V2.1 standard. The new standard will be On October 1, 2017, the V2.0 standard was officially replaced.

Regulations. Second, we must evaluate the products in advance according to the requirements of the regulations. We must be cautious in the selection of raw and auxiliary materials suppliers. New products and new raw materials must be commissioned by specialized testing organizations to conduct special tests on the energy efficiency levels of the products to avoid unnecessary follow-up disputes and losses. The third is to seriously study the products and quality problems of all kinds of notifications and recalls in foreign countries. In other words, we must focus on the key links of energy efficiency requirements, and turn blindly pursuing low-cost benefits into focusing on the products themselves and improving the control of energy efficiency of products.
