10 CFR Part 430


Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products

CFR Correction

    This rule is being published by the Office of the Federal Register 
to correct an editorial or technical error that appeared in the most 
recent annual revision of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    In Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 200 to 499, 
revised as of January 1, 2024, make the following corrections:

0
1. Amend Sec.  430.3 by revising paragraph (q)(6) to read as follows:


Sec.  430.3  Materials incorporated by reference.

* * * * *
    (q) * * *
    (6) IEC 62301 (``IEC 62301''), Household electrical appliances--
Measurement of standby power, (Edition 2.0, 2011-01); IBR approved for 
appendices C1, C2, D1, D2, F, G, I, I1, J, J2, N, O, P, Q, U, X1, Y, 
Y1, Z, BB, CC, CC1, EE, and FF to subpart B.

0
c. Removing sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2.
    The reinstated text reads as follows:

Appendix X1 to Subpart B of Part 430--Uniform Test Method for Measuring 
the Energy Consumption of Dehumidifiers

* * * * *
    4.1 * * *
    4.1.1 Portable dehumidifiers and whole-home dehumidifiers other 
than refrigerant-desiccant dehumidifiers. Measure the energy 
consumption in dehumidification mode, EDM, in kilowatt-hours (kWh), 
the average percent relative humidity, Ht, either as measured using 
a relative humidity sensor or using Tables 2 and 3 when using an 
aspirating psychrometer, and the product capacity, Ct, in pints per 
day (pints/day), in accordance with the test requirements specified 
in section 7, ``Test Tolerances,'' section 8, ``Capacity Test,'' and 
section 9, ``Energy Consumption,'' of AHAM DH-1-2022, with two 
exceptions. First, the rating test period must be 2 hours. Second, 
maintain the standard test conditions as shown in Table 1.

    When using relative humidity and dry-bulb temperature sensors, 
for dehumidifiers with multiple process air intake grilles, average 
the measured relative humidities and average the measured dry-bulb 
temperatures to determine the overall intake air conditions.
