# Council Decision of 13 November 2012 on the signing and conclusion of the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the European Union on the coordination of energy-efficiency labelling programmes for office equipment (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/107/EU), Article VI: Participation in the ENERGY STAR Labelling Program


1. The Management Entities shall permit any manufacturer, vendor or resale agent to enter the ENERGY STAR Labelling Program by registering as a Program Participant.
2. The Management Entities shall permit Program Participants to use the Common Logo to identify qualified products that have been tested in their own facilities or by an independent test laboratory and that meet the Common Specifications set forth in Annex C. For products placed solely on the EU market, the Management Entity allows Program Participants to self-certify the qualified products. For products placed on the US market the Management Entity requires the Program Participants meet the third party certification requirements laid out in the revised U.S. Partner Commitments.
3. Each Management Entity shall maintain and share with the other lists of all Program Participants and products that qualify for the Common Logo in their respective territory.
4. Notwithstanding the procedures specified in paragraph 2 (self-certification for products placed on the EU market and third-party certification for products placed on the US market), each Management Entity reserves the right to test or otherwise review products that are or have been sold within its territories (in the territories of the European Union Member States in the case of the Commission) to determine whether the products are certified in accordance with the Common Specifications set forth in Annex C. The Management Entities shall communicate and cooperate fully with one another to ensure all products bearing the Common Logo meet the Common Specifications set forth in Annex C.
