OAR 330-092-0020
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards and Test Methods

(1) Beginning on the effective date shown in OAR 330-092-0015 (Effective Dates for Regulated Equipment)(1)(i), televisions must meet the energy efficiency standards in ORS 469.233 (Energy efficiency standards)(18) as measured in accordance with the federal test procedure described in 10 CFR Section 430.23(h) (Appendix H to Subpart B of Part 430) (2013). Alternatively, until April 23, 2014, television efficiency may be measured in accordance with:
(a) For standby passive mode, the test methods contained in International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62301:2005, Edition 1.0 “Household Electrical Appliances – Measurement of Standby Power”; and
(b) For on mode and power factor test, the test methods contained in IEC 62087:20008(E), Edition 2.0 — “Methods of Measurement for the Power Consumption of Audio, Video and Related Equipment”, Section 11.6.1 — “On mode (average testing with dynamic broadcast-content video signal” and the specifications contained in the California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Division 2, Chapter 4, Article 4, Section 1604(v)(3), effective January 1, 2011.
(2) Beginning on the effective date shown in OAR 330-092-0015 (Effective Dates for Regulated Equipment)(1)(a), battery charger systems must meet the energy efficiency standards in ORS 469.233 (Energy efficiency standards)(19) as measured in accordance with:
(a) For small battery charger systems that are not: federally regulated battery chargers, uninterruptible power supplies, or battery backups, the test methods contained in 10 CFR Section 430.23(aa) (Appendix Y to Subpart B of Part 430) (Jan. 1, 2017).
(A) Multi-port battery charger systems shall be tested for 24-hour efficiency and maintenance mode with a battery in each port.
(B) For single port small battery charger systems, the highest 24-hour charge and maintenance energy, maintenance mode, and no battery mode results of the test procedure shall be used for purposes of reporting and determining compliance with ORS 469.233 (Energy efficiency standards)(19)(b).
(C) For purposes of computing the small battery charger system standard, the number of ports included in a multi-port charger system shall be equal to the number ports that are separately controlled. For example a multi-port charger system that charges eight batteries by using two charge controllers that
charge four batteries in parallel would use two for “N” as described in ORS 469.233 (Energy efficiency standards)(19)(b).
(D) Small battery charger systems that are not sold at retail may use the battery manufacturer’s recommended end of discharge voltage in place of values in 10 CFR section 420.23(aa) (Appendix Y to subpart B of part 430) (Jan.1, 2017), Table 3.3.2, where the table’s values are not applicable.
(b) For battery backups and non-federally regulated uninterruptible power supplies, the test methods contained in 10 CFR Section 430.23(aa) (Appendix Y to Subpart B of Part 430) (Jan. 1, 2016).
(c) For large battery charger systems that are not federally regulated battery chargers or federally regulated uninterruptible power supplies, the test methods contained in Energy Efficiency Battery Charger System Test Procedure Version 2.2 dated November 12, 2008, and published by ECOS and EPRI Solutions, with the following modifications.
(A) The test procedure shall be conducted for 100, 80, and 40 percent discharge rates for only one charge profile, battery capacity, and battery voltage. The manufacturer shall test one battery and one charge profile using the following criteria:
(i) the charge profile with the largest charge return factor;
(ii) the smallest rated battery capacity; and
(iii) the lowest voltage battery available at that rated capacity.
(B) The battery manufacturer’s recommended end of discharge voltage may be used in place of values in the test method part 1, section III.F, Table D where the table’s values are not applicable.
(3) Beginning on the effective date shown in OAR 330-092-0015 (Effective Dates for Regulated Equipment)(1)(g), high light output double-ended quartz halogen lamps must meet the energy efficiency standards in Oregon Laws 2013, Chapter 418, Section 4, as measured in accordance with the IESNA LM-45: Approved Method for Electrical and Photometric Measurements of General Service Incandescent Filament Lamps published by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America.
