Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016 — 126
Energy efficiency standards — single-phase 126 (1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 3 of Table 1 to this section apply to single-phase single package central air conditioners described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 4. Energy efficiency standards — three-phase (1.1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 3 of Table 2 to this section apply to three-phase single package central air conditioners described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 4. Testing standard (2) A single package central air conditioner complies with the energy efficiency standard if it meets that standard when tested in accordance with testing procedures established by the standard set out in column 2 that are applicable to a single package central air conditioner as defined in section 124.
