ANNEX IVSupplementary provisions
ANNEX IV Verification procedures 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. 2. The air heating product, cooling product, high temperature process chiller or fan coil unit model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex II to this Regulation: (a) if the declared values comply with the requirements set out in Annex II and if the values provided, and the values used to determine these values for the compliance of the model are not more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the values in the technical documentation file, including test reports; and (b) if, when testing, the unit all measured parameters and the values calculated from these measurement(s) show compliance with the respective tolerances below: (1) if, for air heating products, the seasonal space heating energy efficiency η s,h is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the rated heating capacity of the unit; (2) if, for cooling products, the seasonal space cooling energy efficiency η s,c is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the rated cooling capacity of the unit; (3) if, for air heating product and/or cooling products, the sound power level LWA is not more than the declared value plus 2,0 dB; (4) if, for air heating or cooling products using fuels, the emissions of nitrogen oxides, expressed in nitrogen dioxide, are not more than the declared value plus 20 %; (5) if, for high temperature process chiller products, the SEPR value is not less than the declared value minus 10 % at the rated refrigeration capacity of the unit and the rated energy efficiency ratio EER A is not more than 5 % lower than the declared value, measured at the rated refrigeration capacity. 3. For air heating product, cooling product, high temperature process chiller or fan coil unit models with a rated heating, cooling or refrigeration capacity ≥ 70 kW or that are produced in lower quantities than 5 per year, if the result referred to in point 2 is not achieved, the model and any other model where the information included in the technical documentation was obtained on the same basis shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. 4. For air heating product, cooling product, high temperature process chiller or fan coil unit models with a rated heating, cooling or refrigeration capacity < 70 kW or that are produced in quantities of 5 or more per year, if the result referred to in point 2(a) is not achieved, the model and any other model where the information included in the technical documentation was obtained on the same basis shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. 5. For air heating product, cooling product, high temperature process chiller or fan coil unit models with a rated heating, cooling or refrigeration capacity < 70 kW and that are produced in quantities of five or more per year, 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. The air heating product, cooling product or high temperature process chiller model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex II to this Regulation: (a) if the declared values comply with the requirements set out in Annex II and if the values provided, and the values used to determine these values and the compliance of the model are not more favourable to the manufacturer or importer than the values in the technical documentation file, including test reports; and (b) if, when testing the units, all measured parameters and the values calculated from these measurement(s) show compliance with the respective tolerances below: (1) if, for air heating products, the average of the three units for seasonal space heating energy efficiency η s,h is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the rated heating capacity of the unit; (2) if, for cooling products, the average of the three units for seasonal space cooling energy efficiency η s,c is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the rated cooling capacity of the unit; (3) if, for air heating products, and/or cooling products, the average of the three units for the sound power level LWA is not more than the declared value plus 2,0 dB; (4) if, for air heating or cooling products using fuels, the average of the three units for the emissions of nitrogen oxides, expressed in nitrogen dioxide, are not more than the declared value plus 20 %; (5) if, for high temperature process chiller products, the average of the three units for the SEPR value is not less than the declared value minus 10 % at the rated refrigeration capacity of the unit and the average of the three units for the rated energy efficiency ratio EER A is not more than 5 % lower than the declared value, measured at the rated refrigeration capacity. 6. If the results referred to in point 5 are not achieved, the model and any other model where the information included in the technical documentation was obtained on the same basis shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. 7. Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex III. 8. Given the weight and size limitations in the transportation of air heating products, cooling products and high temperature process chillers, Member State authorities may decide to undertake the verification procedure at the premises of manufacturers, before they are put into service in their final destination. 9. 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 the decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model. 10. 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 as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation or in interpreting these values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means.
