The rec.food.cooking FAQ has this, and other neat bits of information.
It is well worth bookmarking, and is webbed (among other places) at:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/cooking/faq/
This is what it has to say about cream:
The minimum milk fat content by weight for various types of cream:
(UK) (US)
Clotted Cream 55%
Double Cream 48%
Heavy Cream 36%
Whipping Cream 35% 30%
Whipped Cream 35%
Single Cream 18% (=Light Cream)
Half Cream 12% (=Half and Half*)
* Half and Half has only 10% butterfat in British Columbia.
