# §429.25. Television sets.

- (a) **Sampling plan for selection of units for testing.**
  - (1) The requirements of [§ 429.11](/cfr/10/429.11.md) are applicable to televisions; and
  - (2) For each basic model of television, samples shall be randomly selected and tested to ensure that—
    - (i) Any represented value of power consumption of a basic model for which consumers would favor lower values shall be greater than or equal to the higher of:
      - (A) **The mean of the sample, where—**
      - (B) For on mode power consumption, the upper 95 percent confidence limit (UCL) of the true mean divided by 1.05, where:
      - (C) For standby mode power consumption and power consumption measurements in modes other than on mode, the upper 90 percent confidence limit (UCL) of the true mean divided by 1.10, where:
    - (ii) Any represented annual energy consumption of a basic model shall be determined by applying the AEC calculation in [section 4](/cfr/10/4.md) of appendix H to [subpart B of part 430](/cfr/10/part430-subpartB.md) of this chapter to the represented values of power consumption as calculated pursuant to [paragraph (a)(2)(i)](#a-2-i) of this section.
    - (iii) **Rounding requirements.** The represented value of power consumption and the represented annual energy consumption shall be rounded as follows:
      - (A) For power consumption in the on and standby modes, the represented value shall be rounded according to the requirements specified in sections [4.1](/cfr/10/4.1.md) and [4.3](/cfr/10/4.3.md) of appendix H to [subpart B of part 430](/cfr/10/part430-subpartB.md) of this chapter.
      - (B) For annual energy consumption, the represented value shall be rounded according to the requirements specified in [section 3.4](/cfr/10/3.4.md) of appendix H to [subpart B of part 430](/cfr/10/part430-subpartB.md) of this chapter.
- (b) [Reserved]
