These changes include revising a section regarding household electrical appliances' standby power measurement (IEC 62301) and making specific amendments to Appendix X1 about measuring the energy consumption of dehumidifiers. The amendments clarify the methods and conditions for testing dehumidifiers' energy use.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Energy made some changes to the rules about how to measure the energy that things like dehumidifiers use when they're just sitting there, not doing much. These changes fix mistakes and make sure everyone measures energy in the same way.
