Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for General Service
Fluorescent Lamps, Incandescent Reflector Lamps, and General Service
Incandescent Lamps
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is amending its test procedures
for certain fluorescent and incandescent lamps, which manufacturers are
required to use to certify compliance with energy conservation
standards mandated under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA).
Specifically, these amendments update citations and references to the
industry standards currently referenced in DOE's test procedures, and
make several technical modifications. The amendments also provide test
methods for some general service fluorescent lamps, based on new
product designs, which are subject to existing energy conservation
standards but do not currently have test procedures in place. Test
procedures for additional general service fluorescent lamps to which
the energy conservation standards rulemaking extends coverage will be
adopted as part of the upcoming energy conservation standards final
rule. Finally, because the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
(EISA 2007) adopted energy conservation standards for certain general
service incandescent lamps, DOE is amending its test procedures for
incandescent lamps to provide appropriate methods to test these lamps.
DATES: This rule is effective August 5, 2009. Incorporation by
reference of certain publications in this final rule is approved by the
Director of the Office of the Federal Register as of August 5, 2009.
ADDRESSES: The public may review copies of all materials related to
this rulemaking at the U.S. Department of Energy, Resource Room of the
Building Technologies Program, 950 L'Enfant Plaza, SW., Suite 600,
