(a) The following definitions refer to portable electric spas:

1. (1) Portable electric spa means a factory-built electric spa or hot tub, supplied with equipment for heating and circulating water.
2. (2) Standard spa portion means the reservoir of a combination spa that is a standard spa.

3. (3) Combination spa means a portable electric spa with two separate distinct reservoirs; where:

   1. (i) one reservoir is an exercise spa;
   2. (ii) the second reservoir is a standard spa; and
   3. (iii) each reservoir has an independent water temperature setting control.
4. (4) Exercise spa (also known as a swim spa) means a portable electric spa that includes specific features and equipment to produce water flow for water physical therapy or physical fitness activity, including, but not limited to, swimming in place.
5. (5) Exercise spa portion means the reservoir of a combination spa that is an exercise spa.
6. (6) Fill volume means the water capacity of the portable electric spa, in gallons, at the halfway point between the bottom of the skimmer opening and the top of the skimmer opening. In the absence of a skimmer, the fill volume is six inches below the overflow level of the spa.
7. (7) Inflatable spa means a portable electric spa where the structure is collapsible and is designed to be filled with air to form the body of the spa.
8. (8) Rated capacity of a portable electric spa means the number of people capable of fitting in a portable electric spa as specified by the manufacturer.
9. (9) Standby mode of a portable electric spa means that only the default settings as shipped by the manufacturer are enabled, except water temperature, which may be adjusted to meet the test conditions. No manual operations are enabled.

10. (10) Rated volume means the water capacity of a portable electric spa, in gallons, as specified by the manufacturer on the spa, on the spa packaging, or the spa marketing materials.

    (b) Standard requirements for portable electric spas.

11. (1) The normalized standby power, as defined in Table 36 of this paragraph, shall be no greater than the applicable values shown in Table 36 of this paragraph, consistent with meeting or exceeding the requirements of ANSI/APSP/ICC-14 2019 or the current version. Table 36: Requirements for Portable Electric Spas

    Appliance	Normalized Standby Power Condition	Maximum Standby Power (Watts)
    Standard spas and the standard spa portion of combination spas	Where: delta Tstd = 37 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius)	3.75V2/3 + 40
    Exercise spas and the exercise spa portion of combination spas	Where: delta Tstd = 22 degrees Fahrenheit (12.2 degrees Celsius)	3.75V2/3 + 40
    Exercise spas and the exercise spa portion of combination spas capable of maintaining a minimum water temperature of 1000F for the duration of the test	Where: delta Tstd = 37 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius)	3.75V2/3 + 40
    Inflatable spas	Where: delta Tstd = 37 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius)	7(V2/3)
    Where V = the fill volume, in gallons.

    (c) Test procedures for assuring compliance with the standards established in subdivision (b) of this section.

12. (1) The test method for portable electric spas is ANSI/APSP/ICC-14 2019 or the current ANSI/APSP/ICC-14 Standard.

13. (2) Test lab report requirements for portable electric spas:

    1. (i) In addition to the requirements of section 5 and Appendix D of ANSI/APSP/ICC-14 2019 and California Code of Regulations, Title 20, section 1606 Table X, as incorporated by reference in section 509.61 of this Part, test lab reports shall include: minimum and maximum water temperatures settings; copy of the label(s) per California Code of Regulations, Title 20, section 1607(d)(13)(B), as incorporated by reference in section 509.61 of this Part; record and plot ambient air temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit), water temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit), current (in amps), and voltage (in volts) at a maximum interval of five minutes during test; and, for inflatable spas, a list of the accessories that were tested with the spa.
