(b) Commercial dishwashers included in the scope of version 2.0 of the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements Product Specification for Commercial Dishwashers must meet the eligibility criteria of that specification. (c) Commercial fryers included in the scope of version 2.0 of the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements Product Specification for Commercial Fryers must meet the criteria of that specification. (d) Commercial hot food holding cabinets included in the scope of version 2.0 of the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements Product Specification for Commercial Hot Food Holding Cabinets must meet the criteria of that specification. (e) Commercial ovens included in the scope of version 2.2 of the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements Product Specification for Commercial Ovens must meet the criteria of that specification. (f) Commercial steam cookers included in the scope of version 1.2 of the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements Product Specification for Commercial Steam Cookers must meet the criteria of that specification. (g) Computers and computer monitors must meet the requirements set forth in section 1605.3(v) of Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations as in effect on January 1, 2020, and the test procedures for computers and computer monitors adopted by the Director must be in accordance with the testing method prescribed in section 1604(v) of Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations as in effect on January 1, 2020, except that the Director may elect to amend the test procedure to reflect changes to section 1604(v) of Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations that occur after January 1, 2020. (h) Electric vehicle supply equipment included in the scope of version 1.0 of the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment must meet the eligibility criteria of that specification. (i) Gas fireplaces must: (1) Be capable of automatically extinguishing any pilot flame when the main gas burner flame is extinguished. (2) Prevent any ignition source for the main gas burner flame from operating continuously for more than 7 days. (3) If the gas fireplace is a heating gas fireplace, have a fireplace efficiency greater than or equal to 50 percent when tested in accordance with Standard No. P.4.1-15 of the Canadian Standards Association, Testing Method for Measuring Annual Fireplace Efficiency. (j) High color rendering index fluorescent lamps, cold temperature fluorescent lamps and impact-resistant fluorescent lamps must meet the minimum efficacy requirements contained in 10 C.F.R. 430.32(n)(4), as in effect on January 1, 2020, as measured in accordance with 10 C.F.R. Part 430, subpart B, Appendix R, Uniform Test Method for Measuring Average Lamp Efficacy (LE), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of Electric Lamps, as in effect on January 1, 2020. (k) Portable electric spas must meet the requirements of the American National Standard for Portable Electric Spa Energy Efficiency, ANSI/APSP/ICC 14-2019 of the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals.
