10 CFR § 429.40 - Candelabra base incandescent lamps and intermediate base incandescent lamps.

(a) Sampling plan for selection of units for testing.

(1) The requirements of § 429.11 are applicable to candelabra base incandescent lamps; and

(2) For each basic model of candelabra base incandescent lamp and intermediate base incandescent lamp, a minimum sample of 21 lamps shall be randomly selected and tested. Any represented value of lamp wattage of a basic model shall be based on the sample and shall be less than or equal to the lower of:

(i) The mean of the sample, where:

$\begin{array}{c}\stackrel{—}{x}=\frac{1}{n}\sum _{i=1}^n{x}_i\\ \text{and,}\stackrel{—}{x}\text{is the sample mean; n is the number of samples; and}{x}_i\text{is the}{i}^{\mathrm{th}}\text{sample;}\end{array}$

Or,

(ii) The lower 97.5 percent confidence limit (LCL) of the true mean divided by 0.95, where:

$\begin{array}{c}LCL=\stackrel{—}{x}-t_{.975}\left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right)\\ \mathrm{And}\stackrel{—}{x}\text{is the sample mean; s is the sample standard deviation; n is the number of}\\ \text{samples; and}{t}_{0.975}\text{is the t statistic for a 97.5\% one-tailed confidence interval with n-1}\\ \text{degrees of freedom (from Appendix A of this part).}\end{array}$

(b) Certification reports.

(1) The requirements of § 429.12 are applicable to candelabra base and intermediate base incandescent lamps; and

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

(i) Candelabra base incandescent lamp: The rated wattage in watts (W).

(ii) Intermediate base incandescent lamp: The rated wattage in watts (W).
