　CEC certification is an Appliance Efficiency Regulation legally implemented by the California Energy Commission on December 30, 2005. The purpose of the implementation of the regulation is to improve the efficiency of electricity products, save energy, reduce gas emissions and greenhouse effect.

With more and more electronic products appearing in daily life, "saving energy" will become an urgent issue that all people must face in the 21st century. On July 1, 2006, the California Energy Commission (CEC) will implement new mandatory standards for the energy efficiency of AC-DC and AC-AC external power supplies, which will affect almost all electronic products.

The standard will cover all products that use external power supplies (such as chargers and adapters), including mobile phones, home cordphones, portable music players, handheld game consoles, toys, etc., and require these products to use energy in a more efficient way during standby and use.

This means that after mid-2006, all transformers, external power supplies, adapters, and chargers used and sold in the United States will have to change their design.

In addition to saving energy, CEC's new specifications will also have a significant impact in terms of environmental protection. According to the company, if all of California's external power supplies complied with the new standards, the state would save more than 360,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, the equivalent of 60,000 cars.

The regulation stipulates that electrical products sold in California must first meet the equipment energy efficiency regulations, which specify energy efficiency index requirements, measurement methods, and phased implementation plans for 58 categories of electrical products. According to the requirements of this regulation, electrical products must be tested by qualified laboratories in accordance with the corresponding regulations or standards in the United States, and can be sold in California.
CEC is a mandatory application certification program in California.

Related control products such as Power Supply, if they want to be sold in California, USA, must obtain CEC certification before July, 2006. If the Appliance cannot meet the requirements of the new Appliance Efficiency Regulation, it is prohibited to be sold in California, USA.
