CEA Applauds EnergyGuide Decision
March 5, 2010The Consumer Electronics Association Friday praised the Federal Trade Commission's proposal the day before to require EnergyGuide labels on televisions.
CEA is dedicated to providing information to consumers regarding energy use of their consumer electronics products, including developing test procedures for measurement, gathering current data and providing online tools and information,” Douglas Johnson, CEA’s Senior Director of Technology Policy, said as part of the announcement.
“The FTC’s latest action in this year-old rulemaking is welcome news and we look forward to working with the Commission on the next steps in this important consumer-focused initiative.”
The labels are currently required for some refrigerators and appliances.
“Energy use disclosures are positive for consumers, who benefit from information at the point of purchase, as well as electronics manufacturers, which are making significant improvements in energy efficiency of televisions and other consumer electronics products,” Johnson added.
