COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No …/…  
of […]  
supplementing  Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council 
with regard to energy labelling of air conditioners   
EN 2   EN EXPLA NATORY MEMORANDUM  
1. CONTEXT  OF THE  DELEGATED  ACT  
Grounds for and objectives of the proposal  
The environmental impact of air conditioners in the EU is significant, in particular the 
electricity consumption in the use phase, which was estimated to be 30 TWh  per year in 2005, 
corresponding to 14 Mt CO 2 equivalent.  
In order to enable consumers to buy more energy -efficient air conditioners , a labelling scheme 
was put in place by Commission Directive 2002/31/EEC1 of 22 March 2002 implementing 
Council Directive 2010 /30/EU2 with regard to energy labelling of household air -conditioners. 
The scheme provided standardised information on energy consumption of air conditioners  by 
means of a ranking of products on a scale from A to G.  
The aim of this delegated Regulatio n is to introduce new, more ambitious, energy efficiency 
classes in order to adapt them to technological developments and introduce more dynamism 
into the scheme. It would complement any possible Commission Regulation implementing 
Directive 200 9/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to 
ecodesign requirements for air conditioners.  
General context  
A main reason for the persistent sales of low efficiency air conditioners is that end -users base 
their purchase decisions on purchase c osts rather than life cycle cost of the product, a situation 
which is not helped by the current practice not to fully include environmental costs in energy 
cost. Also, the information on energy efficiency of equipment available to persons buying air 
condit ioners is limited, which introduces asymmetrical information. Cost -effective 
improvement potentials for the end -user are therefore often not realised. Another problem are 
split incentives, where for example a building owner that purchases and installs an a ir 
conditioner (most are installed products, not portable) aims for lower purchase costs, whereby 
a tenant ends up paying higher electricity bills.  
These problems have partly been addressed over the last 8 years by the labelling scheme set 
out in Directive  2002/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to 
energy labelling of household air -conditioners, leading to an energy efficiency improvement of 
about 20  % during the period of 2002 to 2008.  
Although the current labelling scheme rem ains as a market driver towards further 
improvements in energy efficiency of single ducts and double ducts, the labelling scale for 
other air conditioners, representing about 9 3% of the air conditioner market, fails to 
distinguish between efficient and ver y efficient appliances, and has failed to stimulate the sales 
of the most efficient appliances. As a result, some third markets show considerably higher 
average and benchmark efficiency levels than those in Europe3 Consequently, the preparatory 
                                                
1 OJ L 86, 3.4.2002, p. 26.  
2 OJ L 153, 19.5.2010, p. 1.  
3 For exampl e, in 2007, the benchmark efficiency level for cooling power of split appliances in Japan was 
SEER 7.1 against the EU benchmark of SEER 5.1.   
EN 3   EN study and i mpact assessment on air conditioners demonstrated that if the current energy 
efficiency classes are not revised, the already achieved limited improvement in energy 
efficiency will eventually slow down. This is mainly due to the current design of the label.   
According to the impact assessment, the total stock of air conditioners of 31 million units was 
responsible for 30 TWh annual electricity consumption in 2005 in the EU -27, increasing to 7 3 
TWh in 2020 without further actions (i.e. with the current labell ing scheme in place). The 
increase is mainly due to continuing sales growth. The aim of the proposal is to reduce the 
otherwise expected increase in energy consumption of these appliances. It is estimated that the 
combined effect of possible  new ecodesign requirements and the revised labelling scheme set 
out in this draft delegated Regulation would lead to a reduction of 11 TWh in 2020.  
Existing provisions in the area of the proposal  
In addition to a possible Ecodesign implementing measure following measu res address the 
environmental performance of air conditioners:  
– Commission Directive 2002/32/EC4 of 22 March 2002 implementing Council Directive 
2010/30/EU  on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the 
consumption of energy and othe r resources by energy -related products ;  
– Commission Decision 2007/742/EC5 of 9 November 2007 establishing the ecological 
criteria for the award of the Community eco -label to electrically driven, gas driven or gas 
absorption heat pumps;  
– Directive 2002/96/EC6 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 
on waste electrical and electronic equipment;  
– Directive 2002/95/EC7 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 
on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous subs tances in electrical and electronic 
equipment;   
– Regulation 842/2006/EC8 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 
on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases.  
Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union  
Increased market take-up of energy -efficient air conditioners, through the introduction of new 
energy efficiency classes and possible ecodesign requirements, will contribute to achieving the 
20 % energy savings potential anticipated by 2020 in the Energy Efficiency Action Plan 
(COM(2006) 545).  
Furthermore, implementation of Directive 2010/30/EC9 contributes to the EU’s objective to 
attain a reduction in greenhouse gases emissions of at least 20  % in 2020.

EN 4   EN Promotion of market take -up of efficient air conditioners complies w ith the Lisbon and 
renewed Sustainable Development Strategy as it will encourage investment in R&D and make 
for a level playing field. It is also in line with the Sustainable Consumption, Production and 
Industrial Policy Action Plan (COM(2008) 397).  
The Eu ropean Economic Recovery Plan (COM(2008) 800) mentions energy efficiency as one 
of the key priorities, in particular the promotion of the rapid take -up of products offering a 
‘high potential for energy savings’, such as air conditioners.  
Finally, it will c ontribute to the objective of decoupling economic growth from the use of 
resources set out in the Europe 2020 strategy (COM(2010) 2020) under the flagship initiative: 
‘resource efficient Europe’.  
2. CONSULTATIONS  PRIOR  TO THE  ADOPTION  OF THE  ACT  
 Consulta tion of interested parties  
 Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents  
International and EU stakeholders and Member State experts were consulted from the 
very beginning of the preparatory study, and, together with ecode sign requirements, 
energy labelling was discussed in the "Ecodesign Consultation Forum", which is 
established by the Ecodesign Framework Directive 2009/125/EC10. The Consultation 
Forum is composed of the experts of the Member States and a balanced represent ation 
of stakeholders, namely environmental and consumer NGOs, retailers and 
manufacturers. During the meetings of the Consultation Forum of 22 June 2009 and of 
23 April 2010 the Commission staff presented a working document suggesting 
ecodesign requiremen ts and an energy efficiency ranking for air conditioners.  
All relevant working documents were circulated to the experts and stakeholders, and 
published in the Commission's CIRCA system alongside the stakeholder comments 
received in writing. In addition, t he initiative was discussed on many occasions at 
meetings of Commission staff with stakeholders and Member States, but also with 
international partners as e.g. the Japan, China, Australia and USA. The draft delegated 
regulation was notified to the WTO/TBT,  to ensure that no barrier to trade is 
introduced.  
 Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account  
In general an energy labelling scheme for air conditioners pursuant to the recast Energy 
labelling Directive is well supported by stakeholde rs and Member States. Following 
responses on main aspects of the proposal were received:  
Product scope and classification  
The appliances to be covered are air -to-air air conditioners up to 12 kW output power 
with the capacity to cool and/or heat a room or an area of a room. Air conditioners with 
                                                
10 OJ L 285,31.10.2009, p. 10.   
EN 5   EN specific features include double duct air conditioners that are specifically designed to 
be placed in situations where no outdoor unit is permitted and single duct air 
conditioners that are movable air conditioners cooling only a limited area in a room. 
Both of these types of air conditioners are in general less efficient than other air 
conditioners due to their technical specificities.  
Energy labelling scales  
Initially, several Member States, environmental NGOs and consumer NGOs suggested 
creating a single energy labelling scale for all technologies. However, while additional 
classes can be added to the existing energy labels for single and double ducts in line 
with Article 11 of the recast Directive 2010/30/EU, this  can not be done for other air 
conditioners, as appliances corresponding to the current A level w ould be phased out 
of the market under ecodesign requirements11. Furthermore, stakeholders requested 
that a new energy efficiency calculation method12 correspond ing to the recent 
developments in standardisation is used on these air conditioners. This will introduce a 
new efficiency indication for these appliances.  
Timing  
Manufacturers and retailers emphasised that, due to the new energy efficiency 
calculation and  measurement method, time is needed to (re)test all air conditioners, 
except single and double duct appliances, and to produce the necessary information 
thereof. Furthermore, a period of transition is needed for the change from the old label 
to the new lab el due to the unavoidable rescaling of these appliances. The draft 
delegated Regulation therefore integrates this time constraint.  
Direct green house gas emissions  
Stakeholders requested to address the direct green house gas emissions either in the 
Ecodesi gn or in the Energy Label measure, or in both. The impact assessment looked 
at the possibility of lowering the minimum energy efficiency and/or energy labelling 
requirements for appliances using low -GWP refrigerants. As a result, a bonus reducing 
the minim um energy efficiency requirements would be  introduced under the Ecodesign 
measure for air conditioners appliances. For the sake of the transparency of 
information on the comparative efficiency of appliances, no bonus was introduced in 
the energy label rati ng.  
Collection and use of expertise  
 Input from scientific expertise  
A preparatory study and an impact assessment provided the relevant technical, market 
and economic analysis needed for setting up a revised energy labelling scheme. They 
were carried out  by consortiums of external consultants on behalf of the Commission's 
Directorate General for Energy (DG ENER).  
                                                                                                                                                   
11 Ecodesign requirements are set at SEER 3.6 and 4.3 while the current A is EER 3.2 which may be 
translated to SEER levels between 2.9 and 4.0, depending on appliance ch aracteristics.  
12 Seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) instead of 
steady -state energy efficiency ratio (EER) and coefficient of performance (COP).   
EN 6   EN  Main organisations/experts consulted  
The preparatory study was conducted in an open process that took into account input 
from relevant stakeho lders including manufacturers and manufacturing associations, 
environmental NGOs, consumer and retail organizations, EU/EEA Member State 
experts and international organizations such as the International Energy Agency (IEA). 
The draft measure was notified t o the WTO within the TBT agreement.  
 Summary of advice received and used  
No potentially serious risks with irreversible consequences were mentioned.  
 Impact assessment  
Labelling has to be considered together with other policy options such as self -
regulat ion or the setting of minimum performance (energy efficiency) requirements. 
An impact assessment was carried out pursuant to Article 15(4)(b) of Directive 
2005/32/EC which also examined the option of labelling. The options listed below 
were discarded at an  early stage:  
– no EU action (legislation currently in place would not be amended, no new 
legislation would be adopted). This option was discarded since this option would 
not meet the objectives laid down in the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directives 
Framework Directives;  
– support a voluntary commitment by the relevant industry. This option was discarded 
as no such proposals were made by the industry;  
– adopt ecodesign requirements only. This option was discarded as ecodesign 
requirements higher than the cur rent A level would have nullified the existing 
labelling scheme while lower requirements would not have delivered the expected 
savings potential;  
– revise the existing labelling scheme (without ecodesign requirements). This option 
was discarded as it would n ot achieve the expected savings.  
Consequently, the option composed of the adoption of ecodesign requirements together 
with a revision of the existing labelling scheme was chosen, as it delivers  most savings 
and is also preferred by all stakeholders.  
It will ensure that:  
– ongoing energy improvements are maintained and fostered ; 
– fair competition and product differentiation continues to operate on energy 
improvements;  
– the cost -effective level of energy consumption is reached;  
– the competitiveness of the indus try is supported through the expansion of the EU 
internal market for sustainable products;   
EN 7   EN – the burdens on suppliers including SMEs are not excessive, as the transition periods 
take redesign cycles into account;  
– there is no negative impact on employment in the EU.  
3. LEGAL  ELEMENTS  OF THE  DELEGATED  ACT  
 Summary of the proposed action  
The measure sets out new mandatory information requirements for suppliers placing 
air conditioners on the market, and for dealers offering these appliances at the point of 
sale or by distant selling such as via catalogues or the internet. The scope of the 
measure is aligned with the scope of  a possible Ecodesign implementing measure  
setting minimum energy efficiency, noise and information requirements on air 
conditioners and inf ormation requirements on comfort fans.  
The energy efficiency ranking of appliances continues with the basic structure of 
Directive 2002/31/EC in defining efficiency scales for three specific sub -categories of 
products. Additional classes will be added on top of the labelling scales for double 
and single duct units. However, reclassification of today's A -labelled air conditioners, 
exluding single and double ducts, is necessary for two main reasons:  
– a new seasonal energy efficiency calculation method (SEER/S COP) is applied in 
order to better match with the efficiencies in real use. The new method does not 
allow direct comparison of efficiency levels with those in Directive 2002/31/EC;  
– minimum energy efficiency requirements set under the Ecodesign Directive ar e set 
at a higher level (SEER 3.60/4.30) than the current level 'A' (EER3.20), although 
no precise comparison of levels is possible due to different efficiency calculation 
methods.  
The existing energy labelling scale (in EER) for double and single duct uni ts will be 
continued in adding additional classes on top of the present class A, as set in the 
recast Directive. However, class limits will be defined so that only class A+ will be 
attainable with today's best available technology while other air condition ers can 
continue showing efficiency up to A+++, when available on the market.  
For single and double duct appliances, COP values are defined based on the 
information from manufacturers gathered during the impact assessment stating the 
intentions of some ma nufacturers in possibly introducing heating only -appliances to 
the market.  
A particularity of the energy label on air conditioners is that it serves both the needs 
of installers and purchasers from non -residential sector as much as the needs of 
'common' c ustomers. This is because most of the appliances can only be purchased 
and installed with help of professional people, such as installers. For this reason, it is 
important to include useful information in the label for both types of users; 'common' 
consume rs and professionals. While the indication of the efficiency measurement 
method used (SEER/SCOP vs. EER/COP) is not useful for consumers in general, it 
provides professionals with an easy access to one of the major aspects of these  
EN 8   EN appliances. Additionally , this information is important for manufacturers for the 
promotion of their seasonally performing appliances leading to higher energy 
efficiency and lower running costs, thus benefiting the environment and the 
consumer.   
The specific efficiency of the res istance heating, which is rare in air conditioners, will 
not be indicated in the label as its  potential  impact is taken into account in the 
combined seasonal efficiency calculation and measurement ( SCOP ). Furthermore, 
requirements for resistant heating app liances are covered by other forthcoming 
ecodesign legislation.  
Measurement methods and the verification procedure for market surveillance 
purposes would be fully aligned in any possible Ecodesign implementing measure 
with those used in this delegated  Regu lation.  
 Legal basis  
The draft delegated Regulation implements Directive 2010/30/EU, and in particular 
Article 10 thereof.  
 Subsidiarity principle  
The draft delegated Regulation implements Directive 2010/30/EU in line with Article 
10. 
 Proportionality principle  
In accordance with the principle of proportionality, this measure does not go beyond 
what is necessary in order to achieve the objective.  
 The form of the implementing measure is a delegated Regulation which is directly 
applicable in all Member States. This ensures that national and EU administrations 
will not incur any costs for transposition of the implementing legislation into national 
legislation.  
In terms of conformity assessment, there are no extra costs with respect to the current 
situati on, where energy labelling is already mandatory. The extra cost on the 
application of the new seasonal efficiency measurement standard on air conditioners 
other than single and double duct units is requested by manufacturers and estimated to 
have an insign ificant impact on product price.  
 Choice of instrument  
 Proposed instrument: delegated Regulation.  
 BUDGETARY IMPLICATION  
409 The proposal has no implication for the EU budget.

implementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with 
regard to energy labelling of air conditioners   
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,  
Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of 19 May 2010 of the European Parliament and of 
the Council on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the 
consumption of energy and other resources ener gy-related products13, and in particular Article 
10 thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) Directive 2010/30/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the 
labelling of energy -related products representing significant potential for energy 
savings and having a  wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent 
functionality.  
(2) Provisions for the energy labelling of air conditioners were established b y 
Commission Directive 2002/31/ EC of 22 March 2002 implementing Council Directive 
92/75/EEC  with  regard to energy  labelling of household air -conditioners14. Th at 
Directive establishes different labelling scales for  air conditioners using  different 
technologies and the determination of energy efficiency is based on full load operation 
only.  
(3) The electricity used by air conditioners accounts for a significant part of total 
household and commercial electricity demand in the Union . In addition to the energy 
efficiency improvements already achieved, the scope for further reducing the energy 
consumption of air conditioners  is substantial.   
(4) Directive 2002/31//EC should be repealed and new provisions should be laid down by 
this Regulation in order to ensure that the energy label provides dynamic incentives 
for manufacturers to further improve the energy efficiency of air conditi oners  and to 
accelerate the market transformation towards energy -efficient technologies .

14 OJ L 86, 3.4.2002, p. 26.   
EN 11   EN (5) The provisions of this Regulation  should apply to air-to-air air conditioners up to 12 
kW cooling power output (or heating  power output , if only heating function is 
provided ). 
(6) Technological development s in the energy efficiency improv ement  of air conditioners 
have been very rapid in recent years. This has allowed several third -countries to 
introduce stringent minimum energy efficiency requirements and led to a process o f 
introducing  new energy labelling schemes based on seasonal performance. Today's 
appliances, excluding single and double duct  air conditioners , that achieve the highest 
efficiency levels have largely surpassed the A efficiency levels established by  
Direct ive 2002/31/EC.  
(7) This Regulation introduces t wo energy  efficiency scales based on the primary function 
and of specific aspects important to consumer.  Given that air conditioners are used 
mainly in part -load conditions, the efficiency testing should be chang ed to a seasonal 
efficiency measurement method, except for single and double duct air conditioners . 
The seasonal measurement method takes better into account the benefits of the inverter 
driven technology and the conditions in which these appliances are us ed. The new 
efficiency calculation method with  an Ecodesign implementing measure setting 
minimum energy efficiency requirements higher than the current A level, will lead to a 
reclassification of these appliances and . Consequently, split, window and wall a ir 
conditioners should have a new A -G energy efficiency class scale with a '+' added on 
the scale every two years until the A+++ class has been reached  
(8) For double duct and single duct air conditioners , steady -state energy efficiency 
performance indicators should continue to  be applied, as there are currently no inverter 
units on the market. As no reclassification of these appliances is appropriate , single 
and double duct air conditioners should have an A+++ -D scale. While these inherently 
less efficient app liances can go only up to an A+ energy efficiency class in a scale of 
A+++ -D, the more efficient appliances can reach up to the A+++ energy efficiency 
class.  
(9) This Regulation should ensure that consumers get more accurate comparative 
information about the performance of air conditioners.  
(10) The combined effect of energy labeling  set out in this Regulation and of Regulation 
implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 
with regard to ecodesign requirements for air conditioner s15 is expected to result in 
annual electricity savings of 11 TWh by 2020, compared to the situation if no 
measures are taken.  
(11) The noise level of an air conditioner could be an important aspect for end -users . In 
order  to enable them  to make an informed deci sion, information on noise emissions 
should be included on the label  of air conditioners .  
(12) The information provided on the label should be obtained through reliable, accurate 
and reproducible measurement procedures, which take into account the recognised 
state of the art measurement methods including, where available, harmonised

laying down a proc edure for the provision of information in the field of technical 
standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services16. 
(13) This Regulation should specify a uniform design and requirements as to the content of

Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes  
When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3 (2) of Directive 
2009/125/EC, the authorities of the Member States sh all apply the following verification 
procedure for the requirements set out in Annex II.  
1. The authorities of the Member State shall test one single unit.  
2. The air conditioner model, except single and double ducts, shall be considered to 
comply with th e provisions set out in Annex I, as applicable, to this Regulation, if the 
average of the  seasonal efficiency for cooling (SEER) is not less than the target value 
minus 8% and, if applicable, if the average of the seasonal efficiency for heating 
(SCOP) is not less than the target value minus 8%, established in accordance with 
Annex II.  
The model of a single and double duct shall be considered to comply with the 
provisions set out in Annex I, as applicable, to this Regulation, if the average of the 
results for off -mode and standby -mode conditions do not exceed the limit values by 
more than 10 %, and if the average of the efficiency for cooling (EER rated) is not less 
than the target value minus 10% and, if appliacable, if the average of the efficiency 
for heati ng (COP rated) is not less than the target value minus 10%, established in 
accordance with Annex II.  
The air conditioner model shall be considered to comply with the provisions set out 
in this Regulation, as applicable, if the maximum sound power level does  not exceed 
more than 2 dB(A) of the target value.  
3. If the result referred to in point 2 is not achieved, the market surveillance authority 
shall randomly select three additional units for testing.  
4. The air conditioner model, except single and double ducts, shall be considered to 
comply with the provisions set out in Annex I, as applicable, to this Regulation, if its 
seasonal efficiency for cooling (SEER) is not less than the target value minus 8% 
and, if applicable, if the seasonal efficiency for heat ing (SCOP) is not less than the 
target value minus 8%, established in accordance with Annex II.  
The model of a single and double duct shall be considered to comply with the 
provisions set out in Annex I, as applicable, to this Regulation, if the results for off-
mode and standby -mode conditions do not exceed the limit values by more than 10 
%, and if the efficiency for cooling (EER rated) is not less than the target value minus 
10% and, if appliacable, if the efficiency for heating (COP rated) is not less than  the 
target value minus 10%, established in accordance with Annex II.  
The air conditioner model shall be considered to comply with the provisions set out 
in this Regulation, as applicable, if the maximum sound power level does not exceed 
more than 2 dB(A) of the target value.  
5. If the results referred to in point 4 are not achieved, the model shall be considered not 
to comply with this Regulation.  
1. For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of 
this Regulation, mea surements and calculations shall be made using harmonised standards the  
EN 88   EN reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of European Union, 
or other reliable, accurate and reproducible method, which takes in to account the generally 
recognised state of the art methods, and whose results are deemed to be of low uncertainty. 
They shall fulfil all of the following technical parameters.
