Refrigerator and Freezer Product Verification Program

 

Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) administers an independent verification program to confirm refrigerator and freezer internal volume and energy usage claims made by manufacturers and brand owners.  This program, which is voluntary, is aimed at boosting the confidence of consumers, retailers and regulators in the validity of energy claims made by manufacturers of refrigerators and freezers sold in the United States and Canada. 

AHAM’s Refrigerator, Refrigerator-Freezer and Freezer Verification Program will also assist the ENERGY STAR program, managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in approval and monitoring of qualified appliances and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in surveillance testing of refrigerators and freezers for compliance with national minimum energy efficiency standards.  In addition, the program will be coordinated with Canada’s national appliance efficiency requirements.
