 Requirements on Minimum Energy Performance Standard and Energy Efficiency 
Rating Labe lling and Inspection for Non -Ducted Air Conditioners ( Amendment  Draft)  
Subject : Amendment to  the Requirements on Minimum Energy Performance Standard 
and Energy Efficiency Rating Labelling and Inspection for Non -Ducted Air 
Conditioners  
Basis :  Paragraph 4, Article 14 of the Energy Administration Act  
Announcement ： 
1. Application Scop e: The Non-Ducted Air Conditioners stated in this Announcement refer 
to those  meeting the definition of Non -Ducted Air Conditioners with rated cooling 
capacity below 71 kW, defined in CNS 3615, and CNS 14464, and promulgated by the 
Bureau of Standards, Metrology and In spection (BSMI) of the Ministry of Economic 
Affairs (MOEA) as products requiring inspection before marketing.  
2. Test Method :In accordance with CNS 3615 and CNS 14464.  
3. The testing and calculation of Non -Ducted Air Conditioners shall comply with the 
following requirements : The cooling seasonal performance factor ( CSPF ) of Non -Ducted 
Air Conditioners  shall be tested in accordance with CNS 3615. The measured value of 
CSPF rounded off to the second decimal place shall not be lower than the Minimum 
Energy Perf ormance Standard (MEPS) of Non -Ducted Air Conditioners (see Table 1), 
and shall be greater than or equal to 95% of the declared value of products.  
4. Labelling Scheme for Energy Performance and Energy Efficiency Rating  
(1) The minimum size of displayed label shall be : 180mm (height)  120mm (width).The 
samples and specifications are provided as follow : 
 
             
2 
   
(2) The Energy Efficiency Rating Label shall include the information listed as below : 
(i) Name of the product (Non -Ducted A ir Conditioners)  
(ii)  Model number of the product;  
(iii) Rated cooling capacity (kW);  
(iv) Cooling seasonal performance factor, CSPF (kWh/kWh);  
(v) Energy Efficiency R ating  classified in accordance with the “Energy Effic iency 
Rating Standards for Non -Ducted Air conditioners” of Table 2;.  
(vi) Annual electricity consumption (kWh), which is the value of the cooling seasonal 
electrical consumption (CSEC) calculated following CNS 15712 -1; 
(vii) The year and the number of announcement of the applied Energy Efficie ncy Rating 
Standards for Non -Ducted Air Conditioners;  
(viii)  Registration number of the product; and  
(ix) Other texts designated by the Central Competent Authority.  
(3) The display or post of the label  
While manufacturing or importing Non -Ducted Air Conditioners, the firms shall 
display or attach the Energy Efficiency Rating Label in/on the product 
instruction/manual, or place the label in a prominent area on the front of the products. 
While displaying or marketing the products, the firms sh all display, post or disclose 
the Energy Efficiency Rating Label on the front of the products.  
(4) Energy efficiency rating  
The products shall be classified for Energy Efficiency Rating based on the labeled 
CSPF, and shall be labeled on the Energy Efficiency Rating Label.  
(5) Market Inspection  
The Central Competent Authority may apply  random inspection per annum while 
3 
 applying the inspection of the Energy Efficiency Rating Label ling. The samples for 
random inspection shall be designated by the Centr al Competent Authority, and shall 
be delivered by the firms to the designated inspection laboratories for testing within 
the required term. The amount of samples for random inspection shall be decided 
based on the total amount of products marketed by the m anufacturers or the importers 
of the previous year. In principle, one unit shall be sampled for inspection for 10 ,000 
units. If the total amount is less than 10,000  units, one unit shall still be sampled for 
inspection. Nonetheless, the Central Competent A uthority may adjust the amount of 
samples and the sampling ratio for random inspection according to actual needs.
