Draft of Amendment to  the Requirements on Minimum Energy 
Performance Standard and Energy Efficiency Rating Labelling and 
Inspection of water chilling packages using the vapor compression cycle  
1. The water chilling packages using the vapor compression cycle 
(hereinafter referred to as “Chiller” or “Product”) denoted in this 
announcement are those meeting the definition in CNS 12575 -2007 or 
recognized by the Central Competent Autho rity (hereinafter referred to 
as CCA).  
2. The coefficient of performance (hereinafter referred to as COP) of 
Chiller shall be tested according to the CNS 12575 -2007 at full load 
conditions with a fouling factor allowance of zero. The measured value 
of COP shall be rounded to second  decimal places.  
The measured value of COP shall not be lower than the minimum 
energy performance standard requirements for Chiller (see Appendix 
1). Meanwhile, the measured value of the refrigeration capacity and the 
measured value of COP shall be equal to or greater than 95% of the 
nominal value.  
3. While manufacturing or importing Chiller for domestic use, the 
product manufacturer or importer (hereinafter referred to as “Dealer”) 
shall submit the following documentatio n to the CCA to apply for the 
registration account and password for the “ Energy Effi ciency Label 
Management System (hereinafter referred to as “Management 
System”)： 
(1) Application  for Management System Registration Account and 
Password (see Appendix 2).  (1) The juridical person  certificate or commercial registration 
certificate.  
4. After obtaining the Management System registration account and 
password , Dealer shall submit the following documentation to the 
CCA in order to apply for the approval of the energy efficiency rating 
and registration number:  
(1) Application  for registration of the energy efficiency label for 
Chiller (see Appendix 3).  
(2) An original of energy efficiency test report of Product stamped 
with the official corporate seal of Dealer or the s ignature of 
Dealer's responsible person.  
(3) In case  the model number of the tested Product in the energy 
efficiency test report in the preceding subparagraph differs from 
that of Product for which the energy efficiency label is applied, 
yet Products are the same basic model, a declaration of energy 
efficie ncy conformity (see Appendix 4) shall be attached.  
The energy efficiency test report under subparagraph 2 of the 
preceding paragraph shall be issued by laboratories certified by 
Taiwan Accreditation Foundation (TAF), accreditation authorities 
under the mut ual recognition agreement of the International 
Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC),  or from  Air-
Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI)  or CCA  
approved Test Stands . Such report shall specify that the energy 
efficiency test method conforms to CNS 12575 -2007 for Chiller.  
Products of the same basic model as mentioned in subparagraph 3 of 
the paragraph 1 refer to Products with different product model 
numbers yet the same key component model number and the same 
manufacturer.  5. CCA shall approve the energy efficiency grade and the registration 
number of Product under application based on the energy efficiency 
rating scale for Chiller (see Appendix 5) according to the nominal 
value of COP and refrigeration capacity specified in the energy 
efficiency test report in the preceding Article.  
6. When manufacturing or importing Chiller for domestic use, Dealer 
shall reapply for the energy efficiency label for Chiller and the 
registration number in the following instances:  
(1) The key components of Produc t have been changed.  
(2) The model number of Product has been changed.  
(3) CCA has amended relevant regulations, such us minimum energy 
performance standard requirements for Chiller, the energy 
efficiency rating scale for Chiller, and the energy efficiency label 
or graphics.  
7. Before manufacturing or importing Chiller which has obtained 
registration number for domestic use, Dealer shall register for each 
unit of Product at the Management System and download the 
management serial number which shall be marked on the nameplate 
of Product.  
8. Before manufacturing or importing Chiller for domestic use, Dealer 
shall mark the following i tems on a nameplate and attach  it to the front 
and visible position of Product.   
(1) Type of the product.  
(2) Name, telephone number and address of the manufacturer; in the 
case of imported product, the importer name, telephone number, 
address.  
(3) Model number of the product.  (4) Date of manufacture.  
(5) Serial number of  manufacture.  
(6) Nominal voltage (V), phase, and frequency (Hz).  
(7) Registration number of the product.  
(8) Management serial number of the product.  
(9) Nominal refrigeration capacity at full load of the product (kW).  
(10) Nominal power input at full load of the product (kW, measured 
in W when the value does not reach 1kW) . 
(11) Nominal COP.  
(12) Energy efficiency grade.  
The above items shall all be labeled in Mandarin Chinese, except for unit 
symbols or special characters, and shall not be concealed, destroyed or 
rendered otherwise unrecognized.  
9. Dealer shall have the energy efficiency label as Figure 1 attached to 
the front and visible position of Product or noted in the instruction 
manual.  
10. Dealer shall clearly display the energy efficiency label as Figure 2 next 
to the graphic of Chiller in the product catalog used i n where Product 
is exhibited or sold. If the product information of Chiller is presented 
in text or table, the nominal value of COP and the energy efficiency 
grade  shall be added.  11. CCA may run random tests for energy efficiency checks before it 
approves the energy efficiency grade or  before Dealer obtains the 
management serial number. Dealer shall deliver Product to designated 
laboratories for testing within designated period in accordance with 
CCA’s instruction, and CCA may send staffs or professional 
institutions to verify the procedure and method of the test.  
While the test result in the preceding paragraph fails to meet minimum 
energy performance standard requirements for Chiller (see Appendix 
1) or the energy efficiency rating scale for Chiller (see A ppendix 5), 
CCA shall revoke the energy efficiency grade and the registration 
number, and subject Dealer to sanctions of Article 21 and 24 of Energy 
Administration Act.  
The costs associated with the test in paragraph 1 shall be borne by 
Dealer under test.  
12. While manufacturing or importing Product with the heat recovery 
function for Chiller specified in CNS 12575 -2007, Dealer shall submit 
the following documentation to CCA to apply for the certification of 
Heat Recovery Chiller, and obtain the registration number approved 
by CCA:  
(1) Application for registration  of Chiller with heat recovery function 
(see Appendix 6).  
(2) A document that illustrates the design and specifications of the 
heat recovery function, with the official corporate seal of Dealer 
or the signatu re of Dealer's responsible person.  
Dealer shall reapply for the registration number, if there are any 
changes in key components, the manufacturer, or the model number 
of the certified Heat Recovery Chiller in the preceding paragraph.  13. For Product certified  by CCA as equipped with the heat recovery 
function  for Chiller  specified in CNS 12575 -2007, the requirements of 
article 2, 4, 6, 9, 10 and 11, and the labeling regulations prescribed in 
subparagraph 9 to 12 of article 8 in this announcement need not apply . Appendix 1
