ENERGY STAR International Developments

The ENERGY STAR program is actively implemented in various countries including the European Union, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand, focusing on office equipment and consumer electronics. Each region has specific registration procedures, program guidelines, and specifications in alignment with the U.S. model, ensuring mutual recognition of products and partners. In Canada, manufacturers must register with NRCan to benefit from government promotions. Additionally, initiatives are underway in Mexico, China, and Brazil aimed at harmonizing ENERGY STAR specification levels across nations, enhancing global energy efficiency.
