2. Determination of the EEI:  
(a) For all refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function, the EEI, expressed in % 
and rounded to the first decimal place, compares the AE (in kWh/a) with the 
reference SAE (in kWh/a) and is calculated as:  
EEI = AE  / SAE. 
(b) The AE, expressed in kWh/a and  rounded to two decimal places, is calculated as 
follows:  
AE = 365  ∙ Edaily; 
with:  
AE is the  sum of the  AE of all compartments of the cabinet;  
Edaily is the energy consumption of the cabinet over 24 hours , expressed in kWh/24h 
and rounded to three decimal places.  
The SAE, expressed in kWh/a and rounded to two decimal places, is calculated as 
follows . For cabinets with multiple temperature classes, the SAE is calculated 
separately for each compartment  and added together to obtain th e total SAE of the 
cabinet.  
SAE = (M + N ∙ Y) ∙ 365 ∙ C ∙ P  
EN 10  EN with: 
(1) M and N are the coefficient values of the modelling parameters per cabinet 
type and are given in Table  3. For roll -in cabinets the  values  in Table  3 shall  
apply from 1 September  2023 ; from 1 September  2020 to 31 August  2023 the 
values for roll -in cabinets shall be  M = 9,2 and N = 11,6 .

(3) as regards the coefficient Y:  
(a) for beverage coolers:  
Y is the equivalent volume of the appliance ( Veq), calculated as follows:

(a) the image referred to in point  2 of this Annex shall be shown on the display 
mechanism in proximity to the price of the product;  
(b) the image sha ll link to the label;  
(c) the label shall be displayed after a mouse click, mouse roll -over or tactile 
screen expansion on the image;  
(d) the label shall be displayed by pop up, new tab, new page or inset screen 
display;  
(e) for magnification of the label on tactile screens, the device conventions for 
tactile magnification shall apply;  
(f) the label shall cease to be displayed by means of  a close option or other 
standard closing mechanism;  
(g) the alternative text for the graphic, to be displayed on failure to display the 
label, shall be the energy efficiency class of the product in a font size 
equivalent to that of the price.  
4. The appropriate product information sheet  made available by suppliers in accordance 
with point  1(b) of Article  3 shall be shown on the display mechani sm in proximity to 
the price of the product. The size shall be such that the product information sheet  is 
clearly visible and legible. The product information sheet  may be displayed using a 
nested display  or by referring to the product database es tablished  under Regulation 
(EU)  2017/1369 , in which case the link used for accessing the product information 
sheet  shall clearly and legibly indicate ‘Product information sheet ’. If a nested 
display is used, the product information sheet  shall appear on the first m ouse click, 
mouse roll -over or tactile screen expansion on the link.   
 
EN 19  EN ANNEX IX 
Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes   
The verification tolerances set out in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured 
parameters by Member State authorities and shall not be used by the supplier as an allowed 
tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation. T he 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.  
When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this 
Regu lation, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure:  
(1) The Member State authorities 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 point  3 of Article  3 
of Regulation (EU)  2017/1369  (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 information she et are not 
more favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the indicated 
energy efficiency class is not more favourable for the supplier than the class 
determined by the declared values; and  
(c) when the Member State authorities test the unit o f the model, the determined 
values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the 
values calculated from these measurements) comply with the respective 
verification tolerances as given in Table  11.  
(3) If the results referred to in poin ts 2(a) or  (b) are not achieved, the model and all 
models that have been listed as equivalent refrigerating appliance with a direct sales 
function models in the supplier's technical documentation shall be considered not to 
comply with this Regulation.  
(4) If the result referred to in point  2(c) is not achieved, the Member State authorities 
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 bee n 
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 toleran ces given in Table  11. 
(6) If the result referred to in point  5 is not achieved, the model and all models that have 
been listed as equivalent refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function models 
in the supplier's technical documentation shall be conside red not to comply with this 
Regulation.  
(7) The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities 
of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay once  a decision has 
been taken on the non -compliance o f the model according to points  3 and  6. 
The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in 
Annex  IV.   
EN 20  EN The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification toler ances that are set out in 
Table  11 and shall only use th e procedure described in points  1 to 7 for the 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.
