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
DOE has published a Federal Register notice of Direct Final Rule (DFR) pertaining to energy conservation standards for consumer conventional cooking products. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (EPCA), prescribes standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including consumer conventional cooking products. In this DFR, the DOE is adopting new and amended standards for consumer conventional cooking products. DOE has determined that the new and amended standards for these products would result in significant conservation of energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified.
- The effective date of this rule is June 13, 2024.
- If adverse comments are received by June 3, 2024, DOE determines that such comments may provide a reasonable basis for withdrawal of the direct final rule under 42 U.S.C. 6295(o), a timely withdrawal of this rule will be published in the Federal Register. If no such adverse comments are received, compliance with the new and amended standards established for consumer conventional cooking products in this direct final rule is required on and after January 31, 2028.
- Comments regarding the likely competitive impact of the standards contained in this direct final rule should be sent to the Department of Justice on or before March 15,2024.
DOE has also published a Federal Register notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) that proposes new and amended standards for consumer conventional cooking products identical to those set forth in the direct final rule. If DOE receives adverse comment and determines that such comment may provide a reasonable basis for withdrawal of the direct final rule, DOE will proceed with this proposed rule.
