Wuhan Panyuezhe Trade Co. Ltd. (Panyuezhe) is a company that manufactures computers and battery chargers based in Wuhan, China. Panyuezhe sold or offered for sale computer monitors, computers, and battery chargers in California, from August 2020 to September 2024.

This case was the result of a complaint. The California Energy Commission’s investigation and testing process identified that Panyuezhe was manufacturing and offering for sale IPASON brand desktop computers that did not meet the efficiency standard, were not marked properly, and were not certified to the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS). Additionally, Panyuezhe sold notebook computers, computer monitors, and battery chargers that were not certified to MAEDbS.

To resolve this matter, Panyuezhe executed a Settlement Agreement with CEC on June 28, 2025, for $55,000.00 as a result of demonstrating financial hardship. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount as required in Public Resources Code section 25402.11. Panyuezhe has also agreed to a compliance plan to discontinue sales of non-compliant models in California, add the appropriate marking, and test and certify all models to MAEDbS before continuing to sell in California.
