Overview

Consumer interest in sustainability is forcing manufacturers, retailers and others to identify the environmental impacts of their products. To guide them through the process, CSA Group, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) and UL Environment have collaborated to develop a series sustainable standards that will help identify environmentally preferable products. These standards are based on a lifecycle approach for identifying the environmental impacts of home appliances.

Highlights of AHAM 7001-2012/CSA SPE-7001-12/UL 7001 Include:

AHAM 7001-2012/CSA SPE-7001-12/UL 7001 - Sustainability Standard for Household Refrigeration Appliances – is the first voluntary sustainability standard in the series. It is based on a lifecycle approach for identifying the environmental impacts of refrigeration products in five key areas:

(a) Energy
(b) Materials
(c) End-of-life,
(d) Performance
(e) Manufacturing

This standard will serve as an objective and practical measurement tool to assist refrigeration manufacturers in evaluating the environmental sustainability of home appliances.

The three organizations intend to seek accreditation of the sustainability standards in the U.S. and Canada following the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC).
