ANNEX IVSupplementary provisions
ANNEX IV 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 II: (1) The Member State authorities shall test one single unit per model. The unit shall be tested with one or more fuels with characteristics in the same range as the fuel(s) that were used by the manufacturer to perform measurements according to Annex III. (2) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex II to this Regulation if: (a) the values in the technical documentation comply with the requirements set out in Annex II; and (b) testing of the model parameters listed in Table 2 shows compliance for all of those parameters. (3) If the result referred to in point 2(a) is not achieved, the model and all other equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. If the result referred to in point 2(b) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall randomly select three additional units of the same model for testing. As alternative, the three additional units selected may be of one or more equivalent models which have been listed as equivalent product in the manufacturer's technical documentation. (4) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex II to this Regulation if testing of the model parameters listed in Table 2 for the three additional units shows compliance for all of those parameters. (5) If the results referred to in point 4 are not achieved, the model and all other equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. The Member State authorities shall provide the test results and other relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission within one month of taking the decision on non-compliance of the model. Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex III. The verification tolerances set out 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 2 Parameter Verification tolerances Seasonal space heating energy efficiency η s The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 4 % lower than the declared value of the unit. Emissions of particulate matter The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 9 mg/m 3 higher than the declared value of the unit. Emissions of organic gaseous compounds The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 7 mg/m 3 higher than the declared value of the unit. Emissions of carbon monoxide The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 30 mg/m 3 higher than the declared value of the unit. Emissions of nitrogen oxides The determined value ( 1 ) is not more than 30 mg/m 3 higher than the declared value of the unit. ( 1 ) The arithmetic average of the values determined in the case of three additional units tested as prescribed in point 3.
