Conformity assessment
Article 4
1. The conformity assessment procedure referred to in Article 8 of Directive 2009/125/EC shall be the internal design control system set out in Annex IV to that Directive or the management system for assessing conformity set out in Annex V to that Directive. 2. For the purposes of the conformity assessment pursuant to Article 8 of Directive 2009/125/EC, the technical documentation shall contain a copy of the declared values of parameters in point 2.2 of Annex II, of the declared values of the parameters of the test points in point 3 of Annex II and, where applicable, of the product information provided in accordance with points 2, 3 and 4 of Annex II to this Regulation, and the details and results of calculations set out in Annex III. 3. Where the information included in the technical documentation for a particular model has been obtained by either of the following means, the technical documentation shall include the details of the calculation, the assessment undertaken by the manufacturer to verify the accuracy of the calculation and, where appropriate, the declaration of identity between the models of different manufacturers: (a) from a model that has the same technical characteristics relevant for the technical information to be provided but is produced by a different manufacturer; (b) by calculation on the basis of design or extrapolation from another model of the same or a different manufacturer, or both. 4. The technical documentation shall include a list of all equivalent models, including the model identifiers. 5. Where the manufacturer has used the compliance assessment options set out in point 2 of Annex III, non-significant elements removed, model scaling, test conditions and calculations and the place where the testing is conducted shall be duly reported in the technical documentation. 6. Where this Regulation requires the provision of performance curves at different speeds pursuant to point 3 of Annex II, the technical documentation shall indicate the characteristics of the speed regulation device used, and the speed used (as a percentage of the inherent speed) for those curves. 7. A fan to which a VSD is added shall not be considered a new fan model requiring a new conformity assessment if: (a) the VSD is physically located so as not to interfere with the air stream; (b) the VSD can be removed from the fan for verification without damaging the fan and the VSD.
