What you need   for Certify Products for Appliance Efficiency Standards

Manufacturers of products covered under the Massachusetts Appliance Standards must certify compliant products starting January 1st, 2022.  No uncertified products may be shipped to Massachusetts for sale in the state after that date. To simplify the certification process for manufacturers, DOER is using NEEP’s State Appliance Standards Database (SASD) for certification to coordinate with other states that have and will adopt similar standards.  Because some MA standards match standards in California, the certification process will vary depending on the product type in question.  Details for each product type are available in the "How to Certify" section below.
