consumption and permanent pilot flame energy consumption. The energy efficiency index 
(EEI) is expressed as a figure equivalent to its figure expressed in percentage.

efficiency index due to adjusted contributions of controls for indoor heating comfort 
the values of which can be added on top of each other, expressed in %;  
 
— F(4): is a correc tion factor accounting for a negative contribution to the energy 
efficiency index by auxiliary electricity consumption, expressed in %;  
— F(5):  is a correction factor accounting for a negative contribution to the energy 
efficiency index by energy consumption  of a permanent pilot flame, expressed in %.

efficiency index due to adjusted contributions of controls for indoor heating comfort, the values 
of which are mutually exclusive or cannot be added to each other, is calculate d as follows:

Annex II, point 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1185 published in the Official Gazette 
… dated and… numbered. The heat output in this setting must not be higher than 50 % of the 
nominal heat output. From 01/06/2023 , if F(2) is not zero the technical documentation shall 
include the relevant information on emissions at minimum heat output.  
 (d) The correction factor F(3) accounting for a positive contribution to the energy 
efficiency index due to adjusted contributions of controls for indoor heating comfort, the values 
of which can be added to each other, is calculated as follows:  
For all local space heaters the correction factor F(3) is the summation of the values according

 ANNEX -IX 
Verification Method for Market Surveillance and Inspection  
 
1. The verification tolerances set out in this Annex relate only to the verification of the 
measured parameters by the Ministry and shall not be used by the supplier as an allowed 
tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation. The values and classes on the 
label or in the product fiche shall not be more favourable for the supplier than the values 
reported in the technical documentation.  
2. When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in 
this Communique, for the requirements referred to in this Annex, the Ministry  shall apply the 
following procedure . 
 
(1) The Ministry shall verify one single unit of the model.  
 
(2) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if . 
 
(a)  the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to related articles of 
Regulation (declared values), and, where applicable, the values used to calculate  these 
values, are not more favourable for the supplier than the corresponding values given in 
the test reports; and  
(b) the values published on the label and in the product fiche are not more 
favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the i ndicated energy efficiency 
class is not more favourable for the supplier than the class determined by the declared 
values; and  
(c) when the Ministry test the unit of the model, the determined values (the values 
of the relevant parameters as measured in tes ting and the values calculated from these 
measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 6. 
The unit shall be tested with a fuel with characteristics in the same range as the fuel that 
was used by the supplier to perform  the measurements described in Annex VIII.  
(3) If the results referred to in points 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model and all models 
that have been listed as equivalent models in the supplier's technical documentation shall be 
considered not to compl y with this Communique.  
 
(4) If the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the Ministry shall select three 
additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the three additional units 
selected may be of one or more different models that have been listed as  equivalent models in 
the supplier's technical documentation.  
 
(5) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if for these 
three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the respective 
tolerances given in Table 6 . 
 
(6) If the result referred to in point 5 is not achieved, the model and all models that have 
been listed as equivalent models in the supplier's technical documentation shall be considered 
not to comply with this Communique.  
  
 (7) The Ministry shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other 
Member States and to the Commission by the coordination of Ministry of Trade without delay 
after a decision being taken on the non -compliance of the model according to p oints 3 and 6.  
 
The Ministry shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex VIII.  
 
The Ministry shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 6 and 
shall only use the procedure described in points 1 to 7 for th e requirements referred to in this 
Annex. No other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other 
measurement method, shall be applied .
