* Tier compliance may be provisionally granted for products temporarily lacking ancillary and/or redundant functions. Products granted provisional status must meet
all basic efficiency, performance and safety components of the Advanced Water Heater Specification. Provisional status will only be granted for a limited duration,
and is based on manufacturer commitments to address the areas of non-compliance within a specified timeframe.
** The heat pump water heater program and Technical Workgroup will be provided notification of the addition/exclusion of a product; along with lab results and/or
other available documentation upon which the decision was based. A comment period of five business days will be provided for any feedback/comments on the
addition/exclusion., at which time the change will be made official, or the change will be deferred or modified depending on feedback received from the group.
