ANNEX II Ecodesign requirements for professional refrigerated storage cabinets and blast cabinets 1. REQUIREMENTS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY (a) Professional refrigerated storage cabinets within the scope of this Regulation, with the exception of heavy-duty cabinets and refrigerator-freezers, shall comply with the following energy efficiency index (EEI) limits: (i) From 1 July 2016: EEI < 115 (ii) From 1 January 2018: EEI < 95 (iii) From 1 July 2019: EEI < 85 The EEI of a professional refrigerated storage cabinet shall be calculated in accordance with the procedure described in Annex III. (b) From 1 July 2016, heavy-duty cabinets shall have an EEI lower than 115. 2. REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCT INFORMATION (a) From 1 July 2016, the following product information on professional refrigerated storage cabinets shall be provided, in the instruction booklet for installers and end-users, and in the free access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers: (i) the category of the appliance, namely whether it is vertical or counter; (ii) where applicable, whether the cabinet is heavy-duty, light-duty or refrigerator-freezer; (iii) the intended operating temperature(s) of the cabinet — chilled, frozen or multi-use; (iv) the net volume of each compartment, expressed in litres and rounded to one decimal place; (v) the annual energy consumption of the cabinet, expressed in kWh per year; (vi) the energy efficiency index of the cabinet, except for refrigerator-freezers, where the indicative daily energy consumption shall be declared, by testing the compartments exclusively intended for chilled operating temperature, at chilled operating temperature, and the ones exclusively intended for frozen operating temperature, at frozen operating temperature; (vii) for light-duty cabinets, it shall be indicated that ‘This appliance is intended for use in ambient temperatures up to 25 °C and therefore is not suitable for use in hot professional kitchens’; (viii) for heavy-duty cabinets, it shall be indicated that ‘This appliance is intended for use in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C’; (ix) any specific precautions which are to be taken when the cabinet is used and maintained in order to optimise its energy efficiency; (x) the type, name and global warming potential (GWP) of the refrigerant fluid contained in the cabinet; (xi) the refrigerant charge, expressed in kg and rounded to two decimal places; (xii) information relevant for recycling or disposal at end-of-life. Table 1 below provides an indicative layout for the requested information Table 1 Information requirements for professional refrigerated storage cabinets Model(s): [information identifying the model(s) to which the information relates] Intended use storage Operating temperature(s) chilled/frozen/multi-use Category Vertical/counter (where applicable) Heavy-duty/light-duty Refrigerant fluid(s): [information to identify the refrigerant fluid(s), including GWP] Item Symbol Value Unit Annual Energy Consumption AEC x,xx kWh Energy Efficiency Index EEI x,xx Net volume V N x,x litre (where applicable) Chilled volume V NRef x,x litre Frozen volume V NFrz x,x litre Refrigerant charge x,xx kg Contact details Name and address of the manufacturer or its authorised representative. (b) From 1 July 2016, for professional refrigerated storage cabinets a section of the free access websites of manufacturers for installers and other professionals, their authorised representatives, or importers shall be provided, containing information relevant for: (i) installation in order to optimise energy efficiency of the appliances; (ii) non-destructive disassembly for maintenance purposes; (iii) disassembly and dismantling for disposal at end-of life. (c) From 1 July 2016 the following indicative product information on blast cabinets shall be provided in the instruction booklet for installers and end-users, and in the free access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers: (i) Full load capacity of the cabinet expressed in kg of foodstuffs, and rounded to two decimal places; (ii) The standard temperature cycle, meaning from which temperature in °C down to which temperature in °C foodstuffs are intended to be cooled and in how many minutes; (iii) The energy consumption, in kWh per kg of foodstuffs per standard temperature cycle and rounded to two decimal places; (iv) In the case of integral equipment, type, name and GWP of the refrigerant fluid contained in the cabinet and refrigerant charge (kg) rounded to two decimal places. In the case of equipment designed to be used with a remote condensing unit (not supplied with the blast cabinet itself), the intended refrigerant charge when used with a recommended condensing unit and the intended refrigerant fluid type, name and GWP; (d) The technical documentation for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4 shall contain the following elements: (i) elements specified in points (a) and (c) for professional refrigerated storage cabinets and blast cabinets respectively; (ii) where the information included in the technical documentation file for a particular model has been obtained by calculation on the basis of design, or extrapolation from other equivalent refrigerating appliances, or both, the documentation shall include details of such calculations or extrapolations, or both, and of tests undertaken by suppliers to verify the accuracy of the calculations undertaken. The information shall also include a list of all other equivalent models where the information was obtained on the same basis; (iii) the information contained in this technical documentation may be merged with the technical documentation provided in accordance with measures under Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ) . ( 1 ) Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related products ( OJ L 153, 18.6.2010, p. 1 ).
