Light twins - single-engine climb performance

Hi,

Does anyone know if there are any legal requirements to achieve any particular single-engine climb performance in a light twin - preferably on-going requirements, but otherwise requirements for a new-from-the-factory aircraft?

The aircraft I'm specifically interested in is a Beech Duchess, so I imagine it would have had to have passed FAA requirements when it was new. It's now on the G register, so JAA requirements would be useful too. What I'm specifically looking for is something which I can either show to an engineer and say "this aircraft does not meet this requirement, therefore it needs fixing", or alternatively show to a pilot and say "this aircraft meets this requirement, so it's ok to fly".

Thanks!

FFF
