CEC是由美国加利福尼亚州能源委员会（California Energy Commission) ）它的职责是使能源市场朝着良性竞争的 方向发展。该组织从1976年开始推行的电器能效法规（Appliance Efficiency Regulation ），是美国一可以影响非政 府消费行为的强制性节能法规，在减少能源消耗方面发挥了重要作用。
这意味着在2006年中以后，所有在美国使用，以及要销往美国的变压器、外部电源供应器、适配器、充电器都必须改变设计。
除了节省能源外，CEC的新规范也将在环保方面产生重大影响。据该公司统计，若所有加州的外部电源供应器都能遵循新的标准，则每年加州将能减少过360,000吨的二氧化碳放射量，这个数目相当于60,000辆汽车的每年放射量。
该法规规定，电气产品在美国加州销售时必须首先满足设备能效法规，该法规为58 类电气产品规定了能效指标要求、测量方法以及分阶段实施的计划。按照该法规要求，电气产品必须由资质实验室按美国相应法规或标准进行检测，证明符合要求后才可在美国加州销售。
CEC是美国加利福尼亚州能源委员会的简称，它的职责是使能源市场朝着良性竞争的方向发展。
从2006年7月1号开始，凡外置电源（AC/AC，AC/DC adaptor）出口美国的加州，都必须满足美国加利福尼亚州能源委员会所颁布的加州能效法规，这个加州能效法规是在美国能源之星的基础上发展起来的一个新的能效法规。

目前2019.07.01后生产的电脑显示器需要满足CEC的要求，之前不是强制的，现在是强制的。
1605.3(v) (4) Computer monitors. Computer monitors manufactured on or after July 1, 2019, shall comply with all of the following:
(A) The computer monitor on-mode power draw shall be less than or equal to the following equation with each of the applicable allowances applied at most once:
Eon < (Eon_max + EEP + EGame + EOLED + ECurve)
Where:
Eon is the computer monitor on-mode power draw in watts as determined under Section 1604(v)(3) of this Article,
Eon_max is the maximum on-mode power draw in watts as determined by Table V-4,
EEP is the enhanced performance display allowance in watts as determined in Table V-5,
EGame is the gaming monitor allowance in watts as determined in Table V-5,
EOLED is the OLED monitor allowance in watts as determined in Table V-5, and
ECurve is the curved monitor allowance in watts as determined in Table V-5.
(B) Consume less than or equal to 1.2 watts in computer monitor sleep mode and computer monitor off mode power combined.
(C) Be shipped with a screen luminance less than or equal to 200 cd/m2 ± 35 percent. A manufacturer may ship with additional features enabled, even if they were turned off in testing.
(D) Computer monitors with touch screen capability are allowed an additional 1 watt allowance per mode in modes where touch functionality is enabled.
EXCEPTIONS to section 1605.3(v)(4): The following computer monitors are not required to comply with section 1605.3(v)(4) of this Article but shall comply with the test procedures in section 1604(v)(3) of this Article, the certification requirements in section 1606 of this Article, and the marking requirements in section 1607 of this Article:
1. KVMs.
2. KMMs.
3. Very high performance monitors.
EXCEPTION to section 1605.3(v)(4): Medical computer monitors are not required to comply with section 1605.3(v)(4) of this Article or the test procedures in section 1604(v)(3) of this Article but shall comply with the certification requirements in section 1606 of this Article and the marking requirements in section 1607 of this Article.
CEC认证是于 2005 年 12 月 30 日美国加里福尼亚州能源委员会（California Energy Commission）依法实施的电器能效法规（ Appliance Efficiency Regulation ）。 该法规实施的目的是为了节约能源，提高用电产品的效率，减少温室效应和气体排放。
