ANNEX IIISupplementary provisions
ANNEX III Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following verification procedure for the requirements set out in Annex I. 1. The authorities of the Member State shall test one single unit. 2. The air conditioner model, except single and double duct air conditioners, shall be considered to comply with the requirements set out in Annex I, as applicable, to this Regulation, if its seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), or seasonal coefficient for performance (SCOP), if applicable, is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the declared capacity of the unit. The SEER and SCOP values shall be established in accordance with Annex II. The model of a single and double duct air conditioner shall be considered to comply with the requirements set out in Annex I, as applicable, to this Regulation, if the results for off-mode and standby-mode conditions do not exceed the limit values by more than 10 %, and if the energy efficiency ratio (EER rated ), or coefficient for performance (COP rated ), if applicable, is not less than the declared value minus 10 %. The EER and COP values shall be established in accordance with Annex II. The air conditioner model shall be considered to comply with the requirements set out in this Regulation, as applicable, if the maximum sound power level does not exceed more than 2 dB(A) of the declared value. 3. If the result referred to in point 2 is not achieved, the market surveillance authority shall randomly select three additional units of the same model for testing. 4. The air conditioner model, except single and double duct air conditioners, shall be considered to comply with the requirements set out in Annex I, as applicable, to this Regulation, if the average of the three units for the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), or seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP), if applicable, is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the declared capacity of the unit. The SEER and SCOP values shall be established in accordance with Annex II. The model of a single and double duct air conditioner shall be considered to comply with the requirements set out in Annex I, as applicable, to this Regulation, if the average of the results of the three units for off-mode and standby-mode conditions do not exceed the limit values by more than 10 %, and if the average of the energy efficiency ratio (EER rated ), or coefficient of performance (COP rated ), if applicable, is not less than the declared value minus 10 %. The EER and COP values shall be established in accordance with Annex II. The air conditioner model shall be considered to comply with the requirements set out in this Regulation, as applicable, if the average of the maximum sound power level does not exceed more than 2 dB(A) of the declared value. 5. If the results referred to in point 4 are not achieved, the model shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. For the purposes of checking conformity with the requirements of this Regulation, Member States shall apply the procedures referred to in Annex II, and harmonised standards the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union , or other reliable, accurate and reproducible calculation and measurement methods, which take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art.
