(1) Torchieres.  
There is no test method for torchieres.  
(2) Metal Halide Luminaires.  
The test method for metal halide luminaires is ANSI C82.6-2005. Ballasts may be tested 
separately, outside the luminaire. A sample of at least five ballasts shall be tested for 1609 
each lamp wattage for which the luminaire and ballasts are rated. The average of these 
tests shall be used for certification and compliance purposes.  
Ballasts efficiency for High Intensity Discharge (HID) luminaire means the efficiency of a 
lamp and ballast combination expressed as a percentage and calculated by Efficiency = 
Pout / P in, as measured. P out is the measured operating lamp wattage and P in is the 
measured operating input wattage.  
The lamp, and the capacitor when it is provided, is to constitute a nominal system in 
accordance with ANSI C78.43-2004. P in and P out are to be measured after lamps have been 
stabilized according to Section 4.4 of ANSI C82.6- 2005 using a wattmeter with accuracy 
specified in Section 4.5 of ANSI C82.6-2005 for ballasts with a frequency of 60 Hz and shall have a basic accuracy of ± 0.5 percent at the higher of (a.) three times the output 
operating frequency of the ballast, or (b.) 2 kHz for ballast with a frequency greater than 60 Hz.

The test method for under-cabinet luminaires is 10 C.F.R. 430.23(q) (Appendix Q to 
subpart B of part 430 (2015)). 
(4) Portable Luminaires.  
(A) The test methods for LED luminaires using LED lamps are shown in section 
1604(k)( 3) of this Article .

(4) Declaration.  
 
(A) Each statement shall include a declaration, executed under penalty of perjury of the 
laws of California, that  
1. all the information provided in the statement is true, complete, accurate, and in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Article;  
2. the requirements of section 1606(g)  of this Article  have been and are being complied 
with;  
3. 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, that the appliance complies with the 
applicable standards;  
4. the appliance was tested under the applicable test method specified in section 1604 
of this Article , and, for the following appliances, was tested as follows:  
a. for other self -contained commercial refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and 
freezers with doors that are pass -through and roll -through refrigerators and 
freezers, that the back (loading) doors remained closed throughout the test;  
b. for all refrigerators, refri gerator-freezers, and freezers were tested using 
alternating current electricity only;  
c. for all split system central air conditioners and compressor-containing units, 
these models were tested with the combination of compressor-containing and 
non-compress or containing unit specified in 10 C.F.R. section 429.16(b)(2);  
d. for all gas -fired air conditioners and gas -fired heat pumps, all appliances were 
tested to ANSI Z21.40.4- 1996 as modified by CEC, Efficiency Calculation method 
for Gas -Fired Heat Pumps as a  New Compliance Option (1996);  
e. for evaporative coolers, all appliances were tested to the applicable test method 
referenced in Table D -3 with the modifications appearing in Table D-3;  
f. for whole house fans, all appliances were tested to HVI-916, and if equipped with 
louvers were tested with manufacturer-provided louvers in place;  
g. for battery charger systems for which certification is based on testing of 
representative battery charger system models, the models tested as representative are those known or expected to have the poorest performance 
characteristics such that the data generated meets the requirements of section 
1606(a)(3)( D) of this Article  for all associated models ; and  
h. for kitchen faucets that utilize an optional and temporary higher flow rate than 
1.8 gpm, the higher flow rate has been tested utilizing the test procedure 
identified for kitchen faucets in section 1604(h)  of this Article  at 60 psi and  
verified to have a flow rate less than or equal to 2.2 gpm.  
i.  for state -regulated compressors that are rated using an alternative efficiency  
determination method (AEDM) in lieu of testing, that the represented value of 
efficiency, consumption, or other non-energy metrics for the basic model was  
determined through the alternative efficiency determination method specified in 
section 1604(s ) of this Article .
