Review
Article 7
1. The Commission shall review this Regulation in the light of technological progress with water heaters and hot water storage tanks and present the result of that review to the Ecodesign Consultation Forum no later than five years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. In particular, the review shall include an assessment of the following aspects: (a) the appropriateness of setting ecodesign requirements for greenhouse gas emissions related to refrigerants; (b) on the basis of the measurement methods under development, the level of the ecodesign requirements for emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons that may be introduced; (c) the appropriateness of setting stricter ecodesign requirements for emissions of nitrogen oxides; (d) the appropriateness of setting ecodesign requirements for water heaters specifically designed for using gaseous or liquid fuels predominantly produced from biomass; (e) the validity of the conversion coefficient value; (f) the appropriateness of third party certification. 2. The Commission shall also review this Regulation in the light of technological progress with water heaters and present the result of that review to the Ecodesign Consultation Forum no later than three years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. The review shall only include an assessment of the appropriateness of setting separate ecodesign requirements for different types of water heaters.
