Or,

(B) The lower 95 percent confidence limit (LCL) of the true mean divided by 0.9, where:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR02MY11.061

(b) Certification reports. (1) The requirements of Sec. 429.12 are applicable to ceiling fan light kits; and

(1) The requirements of Sec. 429.12 are applicable to ceiling fan light kits; and

(2) Pursuant to Sec. 429.12(b)(13), a certification report shall include the following public product-specific information:

(i) Ceiling fan light kits with sockets for medium screw base lamps: the rated wattage in watts (W) and the system's efficacy in lumens per watt (lm/W).

(ii) Ceiling fan light kits with pin-based sockets for fluorescent lamps: the rated wattage in watts (W), the system's efficacy in lumens per watt (lm/W), and the length of the lamp in inches (in).

(iii) Ceiling fan light kits with any other socket type: the rated wattage in watts (W) and the number of individual sockets.

(3) Pursuant to Sec. 429.12(b)(13), a certification report shall include the following additional product-specific information: Ceiling fan light kits with any other socket type: a declaration that the basic model meets the applicable design requirement and the features that have been incorporated into the ceiling fan light kit to meet the applicable design requirement (e.g., circuit breaker, fuse, ballast).
