Preface/Scope

Preface

This is the first edition of AHAM 7004/CSA SPE-7004/UL 7004, Sustainability Standard for household cooking appliances. This is a non-consensus document; it will be processed in accordance with procedures accredited by ANSI and SCC with the intent of being published as a consensus document.

The environmental performance of cooking home appliances is evaluated on the single environmental attribute of energy consumption during use. This Standard takes a broader, multi-attribute, and more holistic approach to assessing the environmental impacts of cooking home appliances. The intention of this Standard is that it will not promote environmental performance at the expense of consumer relevant product performance. Product performance may be revisited in future editions if performance standards are developed. The multi-attribute approach was developed using life-cycle assessment (LCA) information along with other key factors such as hot-spot or hot-button analyses influencing product environmental performance. This approach, detailed in Annex A, determined the environmental attributes of cooking appliances for inclusion in this Standard.

All parties have agreed that this Standard will be reviewed at the time a new U.S. Department of Energy or Natural Resources Canada minimum energy standard change occurs or within three years from the date the AHAM-CSA-ULe Preliminary Requirements Standard is published. Many of the measurements included within this Standard are unique and have not been conducted on other appliance categories. The Task Force that drafted this Standard expects to learn much from the application of this First Edition in the coming years. The use of this Standard, self-assessment by cooking appliance manufacturers, and external third-party assessment will be used to improve the Standard in drafting the second and subsequent editions.

This Standard was written specifically for products placed on the market in the United States and Canada. At the present time, a number of the calculations are based on systems specific to North America. This Standard was prepared by the Task Force on AHAM-CSA Group-UL Sustainability Standard for Household Cooking Appliances, under the jurisdiction of the AHAM Major Appliance Engineering Council, CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Business Management and Sustainability, and UL Environment.

Interpretations

The interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on the literal text to determine compliance with the Standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identified, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development organizations to more accurately reflect the intent.
