37、ewordThe Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), CSA Group, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), as a Task Force, collaborated with experts and stakeholders to develop this non-consensus Standard for home appliances as the first step in a broader Product Sustainability Initiative. Th

38、e overall goal of this family of Standards is to provide meaningful product sustainability information to consumers and stakeholders. It is intended for this initiative to drive innovation and continual improvement in the sustainability performance of home appliances by empowering consumers. This St

39、andard is based on product life cycle information and consideration for consumer expectations. It provides information for consumers, governments, retailers, and other program developers to help distinguish between products based on environmental criteria.AHAM, CSA, and UL would like to acknowledge

40、the assistance of PE INTERNATIONAL and Five Winds Strategic Consulting whose staff served as experts and project managers. The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) represents manufacturers of major, portable and floor care home appliances, and suppliers to the industry in the U.S. and

41、Canada. AHAMs membership includes over 150 companies throughout the world. AHAM is also a standards development organization, accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and authors numerous appliance performance testing standards used by manufacturers, consumer organizations and

42、governmental bodies to rate and compare appliances. AHAM administers several appliance rating verification programs, employing third party laboratories. AHAMs consumer safety education program has educated millions of consumers on ways to properly and safely use appliances such as portable heaters,

43、clothes dryers, and cooking products.Canadian Standards Association (operating as “CSA Group”) is a not-for-profit membership-based association serving business, industry, government, and consumers in the global marketplace. As a solutions-oriented organization, we work around the world to develop s

46、vironmental attribute of electricity consumption during use. This Standard on home appliance sustainability for refrigeration products takes a broader, multi-attribute, and more holistic approach to assessing the environmental impacts of refrigeration home appliances.The multi-attribute approach was

47、 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 refrigeration appliances for inclusion in this S

48、tandard.It has been contemplated by all parties that this Standard will be updated at the time a new U.S. Department of Energy or Natural Resources Canada minimum energy standard change occurs. Manyof the measurements included within this Standard are unique and have not been conducted on other appl

49、iance categories. The Task Force expects to learn much from the application of this First Edition in the ensuing years. The use of this Standard, and self-assessment by refrigerator manufacturers and external third-party assessment, will be used to improve the Standard in drafting the second and subsequent editions.This Standard was written specifica
