ENERGY STAR test method references for select Commercial Food Service (CFS) equipment

Please find below notification of an update to the ENERGY STAR test method references for select ENERGY STAR Commercial Food Service (CFS) equipment in the following categories:

• Version 2.0 Commercial Hot Food Holding Cabinets (HFHC) specification, and
• Version 1.1 Commercial Coffee Brewers specification. 

Amendments to the current ENERGY STAR specifications for these two product categories will align with the latest American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard test methods. There will not be an update to the specifications of either of these products as a result of the update to the test method references.

For the purposes of ENERGY STAR certification of hot food holding cabinets and coffee brewers, testing should follow ASTM Standard F2140-11 (2019), Test Method for Performance of Hot Food Holding Cabinets and ASTM Standard F2990-12 (2018), Test Method for Commercial Coffee Brewers, respectively, moving forward. Please note that certifications based on previously accepted versions of these ASTM tests are not affected by this update.  Updated specifications can be found using these links for Commercial Hot Food Holding Cabinets and Commercial Coffee Brewers.
