Appliance and Equipment Standards

N.J. Stat. § 48:3-99 et seq., New Jersey Energy Efficiency Product Standards

Summary: In 2005 New Jersey Governor Richard J. Codey signed a bill introducing Energy Efficiency Product Standards that established minimum standards for eight products, seven of which were preempted by the 2005 federal Energy Policy Act. The standards now apply only to unit heaters, which became effective in March 2007 and will be effective until federal regulation preempts the state's standard in August 2008. Appliance standards in New Jersey are considered and adopted by the Board of Public Utilities in consultation with the Commissioner of Environmental Protection, as established by New Jersey Statute 48:3-99 and the Administrative Procedure Act (N.J.S.A. 52:14B-1 et seq.).
