That test is the one, and ONLY, requirement for being labeled energy conserving. The phos. limit was lowered for other reasons and has nothing to do with the EC rating. You're mixing up two completely separate issues.
You are correct that the reduced phos. level was driven by FoMoCo, mainly because they have oil consumption problems in their fleet and the Federal Regs on emissions equipment warranties was costing them money.
