On what grounds?

Percentages of what? Machine usage?
Typical insurance usage is a minimum of 4 hours for 70% of the nights.

Not sure exactly what you are wanting...is it how many hours you need to use it each night to satisfy compliance requirements?
You might read this thread and follow the links.

Send 123ShawnT.W. in that thread a PM and ask him specific questions and he will answer you.

I think it is at least 4 hours within a 24 hour period and might be 5 nights out of 7...I can't swear to the 5 out of 7 thing.

For your own health and the health of those who drive in a car with you you should wear it at least seven hours a night every night
for the rest of your life.
