Voltage hold up time in power supply design for desktop form factor



While reading this document on power supply design for desktop platform ,I came across the specific hold-up time of minimum of 16ms in page 25 (See section 3.2.9 and table 20). Why is this adherance to 16ms important? Is it because that is the maximum time that UPS takes to power on in case of a power failure?I assumed that it takes exactly one cycle(60Hz frequency operation in case of 16ms) for UPS to power-on.Is my assumption correct?
