Each of these parameters shall be determined through a separate test or set of tests. 99 
Measurement data is averaged over a test period which is taken after the appliance has been 100 
in operation for a certain time. To improve the efficiency and accuracy of testing, the length 101 
of the test period shall not be fixed ; it shall be such that the appliance is in steady state 102 
condition during this test perio d. This is validated by examining all data within this test period 103 
against a set of stability criteria and whether enough data could be collected in this steady 104 
state.  105

 325 
1. For storage conditions and target temperatures per compartment type : 326 
 327 
For assessing the storage temperatures, tests shall be carried out at an ambient of 16°C and 43°C.  328 
 329 
Table 2 sets out the storage conditions and target temperature per compartment type.  330 
 331 
2. Determination of the Annual Energy Consumption ( 𝐴𝐸) 332 
 333 
The energy consumption shall be determined by testing at an ambient temperature of 16°C and 32°C.  334 
 335 
To determine the energy consumption, the average air temperatures in each compartment shall be 336 
equal to or below the target temperatures specified in Table 2  for each compartment type claimed by 337 
the supplier. Values above and below target temperatures may be used to estimate the energy 338 
consumption at the target temperature for each relevant compartment by interpolation, as 339 
appropriate.  340 
 341 
The main components of energy consumption to be determined are:  342 
 343 
- a set of steady state power consumption values ( Pss) in W and rounded to one deci mal place, 344 
each at a specific ambient temperature and at a set of compartment temperatures, which are 345 
not necessarily the target temperatures;  346 
 347 
- the representative incremental defrost and recovery energy consumption (Δ Ed-f), in Wh  and 348 
rounded to one decimal place, for products with one or more auto -defrost systems (each with its 349 
own defrost control cycle) measured at an ambient temperature of 16°C (ΔE d-f16) and 32°C (ΔE d- 350 
f32); 351 
 352 
- defrost interval (t d-f), expressed in h and rounded to three decimal places, for products with one 353 
or more defrost systems (each with its own defrost control cycle) measured at an ambient 354 
temperature of 16°C  (td-f16) and 32°C (t d-f32), (t d-f) shall be determined for each system under a 355 
certain range  of conditions;  356 
 357 
- for each test performed the Pss and ΔE d-f are added together to form a daily energy consumption 358 
at a certain ambient temperature ET = 0.001 x 24 x ( Pss + ΔE d-f/ td-f), expressed in kWh/24h, 359 
specific to the settings applied;  360 
 361 
- Eaux, expressed in kWh/year and rounded to three (3)  decimal places. Eaux is limited to the 362 
ambient temperature controlled anti -condensation heater and is determined from the heater’s 363 
power consumption at a number of ambient temperature and humidity conditions, multiplied with 364 
the probability that this ambient temperature and humidity condition occurs and summed; this 365 
result is subsequently multiplied with a loss factor to account for heat leakage into the 366 
compartment and its subsequent removal by the refrigerati on system.  367 
 368 
Each of these parameters shall be determined through a separate test or set of tests. Measurement 369 
data is averaged over a test period which is taken after the appliance has been in operation for a 370 
certain time. To improve the efficiency and acc uracy of testing, the length  of the test period shall not 371 
be fixed ; it shall be such that the appliance is in steady state condition during this test period. This is 372 
validated by examining all data within this test period against a set of stability criteria and whether 373 
enough data could be collected in this steady state.  374

𝐴𝐸, expressed in kWh/year and rounded to two (2) decimal places, shall be calculated as follows:  376

- c, is the index number for a compartment type ranging from 1 to n, with n the total number 402 
of compartment types ; 403 
- 𝑉𝑐, expressed in dm3 or liters and rounded to the first decimal place is the compartment 404 
volume ; 405 
- 𝑉, expressed in dm3 or liters and rounded to the nearest int eger is the volume with 𝑉 ≤ 406 
∑ 𝑉𝑐𝑛

- 𝑟𝑐,𝑁𝑐,𝑀𝑐 and 𝐶 are modelling parameters specific to each compartment with values as 408 
set out in Table 5 ; and  409

compartment type with the lowest target temperature for which it is declared suitable is 413 
chosen.  414
