Consumer Electronics Association Standard. All manufacturers that use this logo comply with this new standard for rating power output for amplifiers and headunits. Primary Output Power is always expressed as watts RMS and measured with 14.4V DC supply, a 4-ohm load, and with 1% or less total harmonic distortion in the amplifier's output. For more infromation : http://www.ce.org.

Not all brands are CEA2006 certified. That doesn't mean that they don't put out the power they say, though.
