4. Products covered (HS or CCCN where applicable, otherwise national tariff 
heading. ICS numbers may be provided  in addition, where applicable): Technical 
Regulation on the energy efficiency labelling of water heaters for domestic use: 
 84.19 Machinery, plant or laboratory equipment, whether or not electrically heated 
(excluding furnaces, ovens and other equipment of heading 85.14), for the 
treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature such as heating, cooking, roasting, distilling, rectifying, sterilising, pasteurising, steaming, drying, evaporating, vaporising, condensing or cooling, other than machinery or 
plant of a kind used for domestic purposes ; instantaneous or storage water heaters, 
non-electric. 
 85.16 Electric instantaneous or storage water heaters and immersion heaters; 
electric space heating apparatus and soil heating apparatus; electro-thermic hair-
dressing apparatus (for example, hair dryers, hair curlers, curling tong heaters) and hand dryers; electric smoothing irons; other electro-thermic appliances of a kind 
used for domestic purposes; electric heating resistors, other than those of heading 
85.45. 
5. Title, number of pages and lang uage(s) of the notified document: Reglamento 
técnico sobre etiquetado de eficiencia energética de calentadores de agua de uso doméstico (Technical Regulation on the energy efficiency labelling of water heaters for 
domestic use) (46 pages, in Spanish) 
6. Description of content: The notified Technical Regulation establishes the technical 
characteristics of energy labelling and the va rious energy efficiency ranges indicated on 
energy labels, as well as the test methods to be applied for the production, importation and marketing of energy equipment. G/TBT/N/PER/79
