Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Portable Electric Spas; (25 page(s), in English)

Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comment - The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") proposes to establish definitions, a test procedure, and sampling requirements for portable electric spas. Currently, portable electric spas are not subject to DOE test procedures or energy conservation standards. The proposed test method references the relevant industry test standard.

DOE is seeking comment from interested parties on the proposals within the notice of proposed rulemaking ("NOPR"). DOE will hold a webinar on Thursday, 17 November 2022, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. See section V, "Public Participation," for webinar registration information, participant instructions, and information about the capabilities available to webinar participants.
