following new products which are sold, offered for sale or installed in New York State:
(1) automatic commercial ice cube machines;
(2) ceiling fan light kits;
(3) commercial pre-rinse spray valves;
(4) commercial refrigerators, freezers and refrigerator-freezers;
(5) consumer audio and video products;
(6) illuminated exit signs;
(7) incandescent reflector lamps;
(8) very large commercial packaged air-conditioning and heating equipment;
(9) metal halide lamp fixtures;
(10) pedestrian traffic signal modules;
(11) power supplies;

Section 910.2 Definitions. For the purposes of Parts 910 through 912 of this Title,
the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed herein.

(a) Active mode means the condition in which the input of a power supply or
consumer audio and video equipment is connected to the line voltage AC and the
output is connected to a DC or an AC load, fulfilling one or more of its main functions
and drawing a fraction of the power supply's nameplate power output greater than
zero.

(b) Automatic commercial ice-cube maker means a factory-made assembly, not
necessarily shipped in one package, consisting of a condensing unit and ice-making
section operating as an integrated unit, with means for making and harvesting cube-
type ice. It may also include means for storing or dispensing cube-type ice, or both.

(c) Ballast means a device used with an electric discharge lamp to obtain
necessary circuit conditions (voltage, current, and waveform) for starting and
operating the lamp.


(d) Ceiling fan light kit means the equipment used to provide light from a ceiling fan.
This equipment may be part of the unit such that the ceiling fan light kit is hardwired
to the ceiling fan, or attachable such that the ceiling fan light kit is not, at the time of
sale, physically attached to the fan. Attachable ceiling fan light kits may be included
inside the ceiling fan package at the time of sale, or sold separately for subsequent
attachment to the fan.

(e) Very large commercial package air conditioning and heating equipment means
air-cooled, water-cooled, evaporatively-cooled, or water source (not including ground
water source) electrically operated, unitary central air conditioners and central air
conditioning heat pumps for commercial application rated at or above two hundred
forty thousand BTU per hour and below seven hundred sixty thousand BTU per hour
(cooling capacity).

(f) Commercial pre-rinse spray valve means a hand-held device designed to spray
water on dishes, flatware and other food service items for the purpose of removing
food residue prior to the placement of such items in a commercial automatic
dishwasher.

(g) Commercial refrigerator, freezer, and refrigerator-freezer means refrigeration
equipment that:
(1) is not a consumer product as defined by 42 USC 6291;
(2) is not designed and marketed exclusively for medical, scientific, or research
purposes;
(3) operates at a chilled, frozen, combination chilled/frozen, or variable temperature;
(4) displays or stores merchandise and other perishable materials either horizontally,
semi-vertically, or vertically;
(5) has transparent or solid doors, sliding or hinged doors, a combination of hinged,
sliding, transparent or solid doors;
(6) is designed for pull-down temperature applications or holding temperature
applications; and
(7) is connected to a self-contained condensing unit.
(h) Compact audio product, also known as a mini, mid, micro, or shelf audio
system, means an integrated audio system encased in a single housing that includes
an amplifier and radio tuner, attached or separable speakers, and can reproduce
audio from one or more of the following media: magnetic tape, CD, DVD, or flash
memory. Compact audio product does not include products that can be
independently powered by internal batteries or that have a powered external satellite
antenna, or that can provide a video output signal.

(i) Consumer audio and video product means televisions, compact audio products,
digital versatile disc players, digital versatile disc recorders, and digital television
adapters.

(j) Digital television adapter means a commercially available electronic product for
which the sole purpose is the conversion of digital video terrestrial broadcast signals
to analog NTSC video signals for use by a TV or VCR.

(k) Digital versatile disk (DVD) means a laser-encoded plastic medium capable of
storing a large amount of digital audio, video and computer data.

(l) DVD player means a commercially available electronic product encased in a
single housing that includes an integral power supply and for which the sole purpose
is the decoding of digitized video signals on a DVD.

(m) DVD recorder means a commercially available electronic product encased in a
single housing that includes an integral power supply and for which the sole purpose
is the production or recording of digitized audio and video signals on a DVD. DVD
recorder does not include models that have an EPG function.
