Consumer Conventional Cooking Products
“Cooking products” are consumer products that are used as the major household cooking appliances. They are designed to cook or heat different types of food by one or more of the following sources of heat: gas, electricity, or microwave energy. Each product may consist of a horizontal cooking top containing one or more surface units and/or one or more heating compartments. Residential conventional cooking products include conventional cooking tops and conventional ovens. 10 CFR 430.2
“Conventional cooking top” means a class of cooking products which is a household cooking appliance consisting of a horizontal surface containing one or more surface units which utilize a gas flame, electric resistance heating, or electric inductive heating. “Conventional oven” means a class of cooking products which is a household cooking appliance consisting of one or more compartments intended for the cooking or heating of food by means of either a gas flame or electric resistance heating. It does not include portable or countertop ovens which use electric resistance heating for the cooking or heating of food and are designed for an electrical supply of approximately 120 volts. 10 CFR 430.2
Manufacturers have been required to comply with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) energy conservation standards for residential conventional cooking products since 1990.

Recent and Ongoing Activities
On February 1, 2023, DOE published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR), in which DOE proposed new and amended energy conservation standards for consumer conventional cooking products. In this notice of data availability (NODA), DOE is supplying additional information and answers to questions that DOE has received from stakeholders to help clarify the analysis for conventional cooking tops presented in the SNOPR and at the public meeting held on January 31, 2023. This notice does not present any new or amended policy decisions and does not revise DOE’s analysis, it simply clarifies and provides data that supports the SNOPR. DOE requests comments, data, and information regarding the data.
- The comment period for the SNOPR that published on February 1, 2023 (88 FR 6818), is still in effect. DOE will accept comments, data, and information regarding the SNOPR and this NODA on or before April 3, 2023.
- Interested persons may submit comments identified by docket number EERE–2014–BT–STD-0005, by email (ConventionalCookingProducts2014STD0005@ee.doe.gov), Federal eRulemaking portal (http://www.regulations.gov).
On August 22, 2022 DOE published a final rule adopting test procedures for a category of cooking products, i.e., conventional cooking tops. DOE has now published a correction notice that corrects errors and omissions in that final rule. Neither the errors and omissions nor the corrections affect the substance of the rulemaking or any conclusions reached in support of the final rule.
- This rule is effective February 7, 2023.
DOE has published a Federal Register supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) pertaining to energy conservation standards for consumer conventional cooking products. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), prescribes standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including consumer conventional cooking products. EPCA also requires DOE to periodically determine whether more-stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In this SNOPR, DOE proposes new and amended standards for consumer conventional cooking products, and also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.
