Section 1607 - Marking of Appliances
Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
(a) Scope of Section 1607.
Every unit of every appliance within the scope of section 1601 of this Article shall comply with the applicable provisions of this section. The effective dates of this section shall be the same as the effective dates shown in section 1605.1, 1605.2 or 1605.3 of this Article for appliances for which there is an energy efficiency, energy consumption, energy design, water efficiency, water consumption, or water design standard in section 1605.1, 1605.2, or 1605.3 of this Article. For appliances with no energy efficiency, energy consumption, energy design, water efficiency, water consumption, or water design standard in section 1605.1, 1605.2, or 1605.3 of this Article, the effective date of this section shall be January 1, 2006.
(b) Name, Model Number, and Date.
Except as provided in section 1607(c) of this Article, the following information shall be permanently, legibly, and conspicuously displayed on an accessible place on each unit;
(c) Exceptions to Section 1607(b).
(d) Energy Performance Information.
The marking required by 16 C.F.R. part 305 shall be displayed as required for all federally regulated consumer products of the following classes:
Unless otherwise specified in Table Y, each unit of an appliance listed in Table Y that is federally regulated commercial and industrial equipment shall be marked, permanently and legibly on an accessible and conspicuous place on the unit, with the applicable energy performance information shown in Table Y, and such information shall also be included on all printed material that is displayed or distributed at the point of sale.

Maximum standby power allowed for this size spa under ANSI/APSP/ICC-14 [(optional) 2019]: [insert the allowed maximum normalized standby power value based on fill volume, rounded to a whole number] Watts.
Total annual power consumption in standby mode*: [insert the normalized standby power value resulting from the test in watts here, rounded to a whole number] x Duty Cycle = [insert calculated value of total annual power consumption in standby mode here in kilowatts per hour, rounded to a whole number] kWh.
Annual Standby Energy Cost* = [insert total annual power consumption value here, rounded to a whole number] x Energy Rate (cost per kilowatt hour in your area).
*Data is based on standard test procedure for Portable Electric Spas as stipulated in ANSI/APSP/ICC-14 [(optional 2019]. Note: This is the amount of power used during test conditions and does not include spa usage or extreme cold conditions. This data should be used only for comparison of spa models. Power is not monthly energy consumption. Duty cycle is estimated to be [insert duty cycle value in hours here. For standard spas, exercise spas, and combinations spas insert 8,760. For inflatable spas, insert 5,040] hours per year.
