Energy Conservation Program: Certification, Compliance, and Enforcement for Consumer 

Products and Commercial and Industrial Equipment; Correction 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction. 

SUMMARY: This document contains technical corrections to the final rule regarding 

certification, compliance, and enforcement regulations that was published on March 7, 2011. In 

that final rule, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) adopted regulations that provided for 

sampling plans used in determining compliance with existing standards, manufacturer 

submission of compliance statements and certification reports to DOE, maintenance of 

compliance records by manufacturers, and the availability of enforcement actions for improper 

certification or noncompliance with an applicable standard. Due to drafting error, language was 

inadvertently deleted from the rule and certain provisions contained erroneous internal cross 

references.

DATES: This correction is effective [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE 

FEDERAL REGISTER]. The technical corrections to §§ 429.12 through 429.54 are effective

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On March 7, 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency 

and Renewable Energy (EERE) published a final rule titled " Energy Conservation Program: 

Certification, Compliance, and Enforcement for Consumer Products and Commercial and 

Industrial Equipment." 76 FR 12421. Since the publication of that rule, it has come to DOE's 

2 
attention that, due to a technical oversight, certain parts of the final regulation were inadvertently 

deleted by the rule. Additionally, several sections of the regulatory text have internal referencing 

errors.

* * * * * 

5. Test Measurements 

5.1 Temperature Measurements. Temperature measurements shall be made at the locations 

prescribed in Figures 7.1 and 7.2 of HRF–1–1979 (incorporated by reference; see § 430.3) and 

shall be accurate to within ± 0.5 °F (0.3 °C). No freezer temperature measurements need be taken 

43 
 

in an all-refrigerator model. If the interior arrangements of the cabinet do not conform with those 

shown in Figure 7.1 and 7.2 of HRF–1–1979, the product may be tested by relocating the 

temperature sensors from the locations specified in the figures to avoid interference with 

hardware or components within the cabinet, in which case the specific locations used for the 

temperature sensors shall be noted in the test data records maintained by the manufacturer in 

accordance with 10 CFR 429.14, and the certification report shall indicate that non-standard 

sensor locations were used. 

5.1.1 Measured Temperature. The measured temperature of a compartment is to be the average 

of all sensor temperature readings taken in that compartment at a particular time. Measurements 

shall be taken at regular intervals not to exceed four minutes. 

5.1.2 Compartment Temperature. The compartment temperature for each test period shall be an 

average of the measured temperatures taken in a compartment during one or more complete 

compressor cycles. One compressor cycle is one complete motor ‘‘on’’ and one complete motor 

‘‘off’’ period. For long-time automatic defrost models, compartment temperatures shall be those 

measured in the first part of the test period specified in section 4.2.1. For models with variable 

defrost controls, compartment temperatures shall be those measured in the first part of the test 

period specified in section 4.2.2. 

5.1.2.1 The number of complete compressor cycles over which the measured temperatures in a 

compartment are to be averaged to determine compartment temperature shall be equal to the 

number of minutes between measured temperature readings, rounded up to the next whole 

minute or a number of complete compressor cycles over a time period exceeding 1 hour, 

whichever is greater. One of the compressor cycles shall be the last complete compressor cycle 

during the test period. 

44 
5.1.2.2 If no compressor cycling occurs, the compartment temperature shall be the average of the 

measured temperatures taken during the last 32 minutes of the test period. 

5.1.2.3 If incomplete compressor cycling occurs, the compartment temperatures shall be the 

average of the measured temperatures taken during the last three hours of the last complete 

compressor ‘‘on’’ period. 

5.1.3 Fresh Food Compartment Temperature. The fresh food compartment temperature shall be 

calculated as: 

Where: 

R is the total number of applicable fresh food compartments, which include the first fresh food 

compartment and any number of separate auxiliary fresh food compartments (including separate 

auxiliary convertible compartments tested as fresh food compartments in accordance with 

section 2.7); 

TRi is the compartment temperature of fresh food compartment “i" determined in accordance 

with section 5.1.2; and 

VRi is the volume of fresh food compartment “i". 

5.1.4 Freezer Compartment Temperature. The freezer compartment temperature shall be 

calculated as: 

45 
 

Where: 

F is the total number of applicable freezer compartments, which include the first freezer 

compartment and any number of separate auxiliary freezer compartments (including separate 

auxiliary convertible compartments tested as freezer compartments in accordance with section 

2.7); 

TFi is the compartment temperature of freezer compartment “i" determined in accordance with 

section 5.1.2; and 

VFi is the volume of freezer compartment “i".

5. Test Measurements 

5.1 Temperature Measurements. Temperature measurements shall be made at the locations 

prescribed in Figure 7.2 of HRF–1–1979 (incorporated by reference; see § 430.3) and shall be 

accurate to within ± 0.5 °F (0.3 °C). If the interior arrangements of the cabinet do not conform 

with those shown in Figure 7.2 of HRF–1–1979, the product may be tested by relocating the 

46 
 

temperature sensors from the locations specified in the figures to avoid interference with 

hardware or components within the cabinet, in which case the specific locations used for the 

temperature sensors shall be noted in the test data records maintained by the manufacturer in 

accordance with 10 CFR 429.14, and the certification report shall indicate that non-standard 

sensor locations were used. 

5.1.1 Measured Temperature. The measured temperature is to be the average of all sensor 

temperature readings taken at a particular time. Measurements shall be taken at regular intervals 

not to exceed four minutes. 

5.1.2 Compartment Temperature. The compartment temperature for each test period shall be an 

average of the measured temperatures taken during one or more complete compressor cycles. 

One compressor cycle is one complete motor ‘‘on’’ and one complete motor ‘‘off’’ period. For 

long-time automatic defrost models, compartment temperature shall be that measured in the first 

part of the test period specified in 4.2.1. For models equipped with variable defrost controls, 

compartment temperatures shall be those measured in the first part of the test period specified in 

4.2.2. 

5.1.2.1 The number of complete compressor motor cycles over which the measured temperatures 

in a compartment are to be averaged to determine compartment temperature shall be equal to the 

number of minutes between measured temperature readings rounded up to the next whole minute 

or a number of complete cycles over a time period exceeding one hour. One of the compressor 

cycles shall be the last complete compressor cycle during the test period before start of the 

defrost control sequence for products with automatic defrost. 

5.1.2.2 If no compressor motor cycling occurs, the compartment temperature shall be the average 

of the measured temperatures taken during the last thirty-two minutes of the test period.
