EPEAT Gold models meet all 23 of IEEE 1680 required criteria plus at least 21 of the 28 optional ones. ~20* manufacturers are now offering over 700* EPEAT Gold products registered for the United States.

EPEAT Gold manufacturers and category-specific links to the EPEAT database are included in the first three "Greenest E-Gear" categories to the right.

The EPEAT for servers standards process is expected to begin in 2011. (The first machines certified under ENERGY STAR for servers have just been announced.)

* These numbers may decrease next year. EPEAT's Sarah O'Brien tells me:

The start of the computer standard update will occur later this year (2010). The outcome of that process – an updated 1680.1 computer standard, with additional and revised criteria – will make it more challenging to attain higher tier registrations, and so may shrink the ranks of Gold registered products for a time. The adoption of the new standard will most likely happen in 2011 (hard to anticipate exact end dates for stakeholder processes.)
