Canada proposed Regulations amending the Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016

Natural Resources Canada proposed The Energy Efficiency Regulations prescribe minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for consumer and commercial energy-using products.

• introduce MEPS, labelling and reporting requirements for 7 new product categories;
• introduce more stringent MEPS and/or update testing standards, as necessary, for 4 currently regulated product categories; and,
• introduce labelling and reporting requirements for 1 new product category.
