Compliance with the standard is required and enforceable as of January 1, 2007, for ceiling fans and ceiling fan light kits with sockets that are medium screw base and pin-based for fluorescent lamps. Compliance with the standard for ceiling fan light kits with sockets that are any other socket type is required and enforceable as of January 1, 2009. After these dates, manufacturers must meet the ceiling fan and ceiling fan light kit requirements and be able to demonstrate compliance. However, manufacturers are not yet required to submit compliance certification reports. The process for submitting compliance certification reports is being developed in an on-going rulemaking. When the certification and enforcement procedures are finalized, manufacturers must represent to DOE that the ceiling fan light kits for which there are effective standards and packaging requirements set by EPACT 2005 are compliant.
