ANNEX IIISupplementary provisions
ANNEX III Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3(2) of 2009/125/EC, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following verification procedure for the requirements set out in Annex II: 1. The Member State authorities shall test one single unit per model. 2. The vacuum cleaner model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex I to this Regulation if the values in the technical documentation comply with the requirements set out in that Annex and if testing of the relevant model parameters listed in Annex I and Table 1 shows compliance for all of those parameters. 3. If the result referred to in point 2 is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall randomly select three additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the three additional units selected may be of one or more different models which, in accordance with Article 4, have been listed as equivalent vacuum cleaner in the manufacturer’s technical documentation. 4. The vacuum cleaner model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex I to this Regulation if testing of the relevant model parameters listed in Annex I and Table 1 shows compliance for all of those parameters. 5. If the results referred to in point 4 are not achieved, the model and all equivalent vacuum cleaner models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex II. The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member State authorities and shall not be used by the manufacturer or importer as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation. Table 1 Parameter Verification tolerances Annual energy consumption The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 10 % higher than the declared value. Dust pick up on carpet The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 0,03 lower than the declared value. Dust pick up on hard floor The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 0,03 lower than the declared value. Dust re-emission The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 15 % higher than the declared value. Sound power level The determined value ( 1 ) is not higher than the declared value. Operational motor lifetime The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 5 % lower than the declared value. ( 1 ) The arithmetic average of the values determined in the case of three additional units tested as prescribed in point 3.
