IECEE E3
Program Advantages
The IECEE E3 Program will deliver the following advantages:
- To help the relevant industry to easily access the global market
- To avoid duplication of testing and measuring thus optimizing the costs
- To partly meet the various regulations whilst waiting a more general
harmonization of the E3 requirements
- To offer developing economies to adopt the IECEE E3 Program instead of
establishing their own Energy Efficiency Programs
- To support developing economies to protect their domestic markets from
importing inefficient end-products
- To give a major contribution to protect the environment

IECEE E3
What does the program cover?
 A globally standardized approach to testing and verification for electrotechnical devices, based on IEC international standards, will indeed prevent
duplication of testing, reduce costs, and support global trade in a timely
manner.
manner
 The IECEE E3 program will provide proof of compliance to IEC standards in
the field of Energy Efficiency in general and more particular in the field of:
- Energy Performance
- Energy Consumption
- Level of Noise Emission
 The IECEE E3 Program is a third party Conformity Assessment service, it will
… be granted … by a Statement of Test Results.

Transportability (cont.)
Advantages will
 Help eliminate duplication/multiplication of systems related to economies developing their own
performance specification, test methods, compliance and verification procedures.
 Increase transparency of procedures and processes which in turn could reduce program set-up and
verification costs and allow for easier best practice sharing.
 Allocate often scarce resources to monitoring and enforcement rather than to inventing the program
itself. More economies would be able to afford MEPS, which would be beneficial for energy
efficiency outcomes overall.
 Provide reliable selection of safe/efficient products through the IECEE E3 for consumers in
smaller economies, where market size would not justify the investment in local testing and
verification of products.
 Set single rules which are more cost-effective for smaller economies, it allows for transportability of
third party evaluation, which in turn is more acceptable to industry, because manufacturers know
what is expected from them and ensuring a common application of the standards. Non-tariff barriers
to trade are avoided.
 Established, globally accepted performance metrics, specifications and standardized testing
methods (developed early on with industry participation) simplify conformity assessment by IECEE
Registered Testing Laboratories and Certification Bodies.
 Standardize testing protocols and methods increasing the robustness of test results. They are
reproducible, repeatable, understandable and representative. They cross borders more easily,
facilitate evaluation and accuracy of assessments and increase the credibility of MEPS programs.
Offer to government’s policy a tool box to be used to provide a map for reducing energy consumption
in the electrical sector.
