ANNEX III Measurements 1. For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation, measurements shall be made using harmonised standards the reference numbers of which have been published for this purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union , or using other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods that take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art methods. They shall meet the conditions and technical parameters set out in points 2 to 7. 2. GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR TESTING WATER HEATERS (a) Measurements shall be carried out using the load profiles set out in Table 1; (b) measurements shall be carried out using a 24-hour measurement cycle as follows: — 00:00 to 06:59: no water draw-off, — from 07:00: water draw-offs according to the declared load profile, — from end of last water draw-off until 24:00: no water draw-off; (c) the declared load profile shall be the maximum load profile or the load profile one below the maximum load profile; (d) any heat generator designed for a water heater, and any water heater housing to be equipped with such a heat generator, shall be tested with an appropriate water heater housing and heat generator, respectively; (e) water heaters to be classified as off-peak water heaters are energised for a maximum period of 8 consecutive hours between 22:00 and 07:00 of the 24-hour tapping pattern. At the end of the 24-hour tapping pattern the water heaters are energised till the end of the step.
