COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2015/1095

of 5 May 2015

implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (1) and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,

After consulting the Consultation Forum referred to in Article 18 of Directive 2009/125/EC,

Whereas:

| (1) | Under Directive 2009/125/EC, ecodesign requirements should be set by the Commission for energy-related products representing significant volumes of sales and trade, having a significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement through design in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Under Directive 2009/125/EC, ecodesign requirements should be set by the Commission for energy-related products representing significant volumes of sales and trade, having a significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement through design in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs.

| (2) | The Commission established the first Working Plan in accordance with Directive 2009/125/EC on 21 October 2008 (2), covering the years 2009 to 2011, identifying refrigerating and freezing equipment, including professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers, as a priority for the adoption of implementing measures. |

(2)

The Commission established the first Working Plan in accordance with Directive 2009/125/EC on 21 October 2008 (2), covering the years 2009 to 2011, identifying refrigerating and freezing equipment, including professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers, as a priority for the adoption of implementing measures.

| (3) | The Commission has carried out a preparatory study on the technical, environmental and economic aspects of refrigerating and freezing equipment typically used in the Union, including professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers. The study was devised together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available. |

The study was devised together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available.

| (4) | The fifth product of the refrigerating and freezing equipment lot — walk-in cold rooms — has been kept separate because of its unique characteristics within the group, and walk-in cold rooms should not be addressed by this Regulation at this time. |

(4)

The fifth product of the refrigerating and freezing equipment lot — walk-in cold rooms — has been kept separate because of its unique characteristics within the group, and walk-in cold rooms should not be addressed by this Regulation at this time.

| (5) | As regards professional refrigerated storage cabinets, it is not necessary to set ecodesign requirements for direct greenhouse gas emissions related to the use of refrigerants, as the increasing use of low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants in the household and commercial refrigerator market sets a precedent that the professional refrigerated storage cabinets sector could follow. |

As regards professional refrigerated storage cabinets, it is not necessary to set ecodesign requirements for direct greenhouse gas emissions related to the use of refrigerants, as the increasing use of low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants in the household and commercial refrigerator market sets a precedent that the professional refrigerated storage cabinets sector could follow.

| (6) | As regards process chillers, it is appropriate to set ecodesign requirements for direct greenhouse gas emissions related to the use of refrigerants, as this will further direct the market towards low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, which are at the same time often more energy efficient. |

As regards process chillers, it is appropriate to set ecodesign requirements for direct greenhouse gas emissions related to the use of refrigerants, as this will further direct the market towards low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, which are at the same time often more energy efficient.

| (7) | As regards condensing units, non-proprietary technologies exist that reduce the direct greenhouse gas emissions related to the use of refrigerants through the use of refrigerants with reduced harmful impact on the environment. However, the cost-effectiveness and impact on energy efficiency of these technologies when applied to condensing units is still not fully established, as their diffusion is either negligible or represents only a small share of the market for condensing units today. |

However, the cost-effectiveness and impact on energy efficiency of these technologies when applied to condensing units is still not fully established, as their diffusion is either negligible or represents only a small share of the market for condensing units today.

| (8) | As refrigerants are addressed under Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 (3), and as a review of this Regulation was proposed by the Commission on 7 November 2012, no specific restrictions on the use of refrigerants should be set in this Regulation. However, a bonus should be proposed under the ecodesign requirements for condensing units and process chillers to steer the market towards the development of technologies based on the use of refrigerants with reduced harmful impact on the environment, as a bonus would lead to lower minimum energy efficiency requirements for condensing units and process chillers intended to be used with low GWP refrigerants. The future review will look at the treatment of products using high GWP refrigerants in line with the existing relevant legislation. |

(9)

For the purposes of this Regulation, energy consumption in the use phase has been identified as the significant environmental aspect of professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers.

| (10) | The preparatory study has shown that requirements regarding the other ecodesign parameters referred to in Part 1 of Annex I to Directive 2009/125/EC are not necessary in the case of professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers. |

(10)

The preparatory study has shown that requirements regarding the other ecodesign parameters referred to in Part 1 of Annex I to Directive 2009/125/EC are not necessary in the case of professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers.

| (11) | Annual electricity consumption in the Union related to condensing units, process chillers and professional refrigerated storage cabinets was estimated to have been 116,5 TWh (terawatt hour) in 2012, corresponding to 47 Mt CO2 emissions. Unless specific measures are taken, annual energy consumption is expected to be 134,5 TWh in 2020 and 154,5 TWh in 2030, corresponding to 54,5 and 62,5 Mt CO2 respectively. The combined effect of this Regulation and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/1094 (4) is expected to result in annual electricity savings of 6,3 TWh by 2020 and 15,6 TWh by 2030, as compared with what would happen if no measures were taken. |

ANNEX III

Method for calculating the energy efficiency index for professional refrigerated storage cabinets

For the calculation of the energy efficiency index (EEI) of a professional refrigerated storage cabinet model, the annual energy consumption of the cabinet is compared to its standard annual energy consumption.

The EEI is calculated as:

EEI = (AEC/SAEC) × 100

Where:

AEC = E24h × af × 365

AEC= annual energy consumption of the cabinet in kWh/year

E24h= energy consumption of the cabinet over 24 hours

af
  = adjustment factor to be applied only for light-duty cabinets, according to Annex IV, point 2(b)

SAEC = M × Vn + N

SAEC= standard annual energy consumption of the cabinet in kWh/year

Vn= net volume of the appliance, which is the sum of net volumes of all compartments of the cabinet, expressed in litres.

M and N are given in the Table 2.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2010/13/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2010 on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the provision of audiovisual media services (Audiovisual Media Services Directive) (1), and in particular Article 14(2) thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the committee established pursuant to Article 29 of Directive 2010/13/EU,

Whereas:

In examining the measures, the Commission took into consideration the available data on the Danish audiovisual market, in particular as regards the impact on the television market.

| --- | --- |

(4)

The list of events of major importance for society was drawn up by Denmark in a clear and transparent manner, following a wide public consultation.

| (5) | On the basis of detailed evidence and viewing figures provided by the Danish authorities, the Commission verified that the list of designated events, drawn up in accordance with Article 14(1) of Directive 2010/13/EU, met at least two of the following criteria considered to be reliable indicators of the importance of such events for society: (i) a special general resonance within the Member State, and not simply a significance to those who ordinarily follow the sport or activity concerned; (ii) a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the population of the Member State, in particular as a catalyst of cultural identity; (iii) involvement of the national team in the event concerned in the context of a competition or tournament of international importance; and (iv) the fact that the event has traditionally been broadcast on free-to-air television and has commanded large television audiences. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

On the basis of detailed evidence and viewing figures provided by the Danish authorities, the Commission verified that the list of designated events, drawn up in accordance with Article 14(1) of Directive 2010/13/EU, met at least two of the following criteria considered to be reliable indicators of the importance of such events for society: (i) a special general resonance within the Member State, and not simply a significance to those who ordinarily follow the sport or activity concerned; (ii) a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the population of the Member State, in particular as a catalyst of cultural identity; (iii) involvement of the national team in the event concerned in the context of a competition or tournament of international importance; and (iv) the fact that the event has traditionally been broadcast on free-to-air television and has commanded large television audiences.

| (6) | The notified list of events of major importance for society contains a number of designated events, which are considered as events of major importance for society, such as the summer and winter Olympic Games. As demonstrated by the Danish authorities, the summer and winter Olympic Games commanded large television audiences and have traditionally been broadcast on free-to-air television. In addition they have a special general resonance in Denmark, as they are particularly popular with the general public, not just with those who usually follow sport events. |

They involve a national team in an international tournament of major importance. The particular and widespread interest is reinforced by the fact that the Danish national team has earned significant achievements in these tournaments. |

| (10) | The designated measures do not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the aim pursued, namely protection of the right to information and wide access of the public to television coverage of events of major importance for society. This conclusion takes into account the modalities according to which the events in question will be broadcast, the definition of a ‘qualifying broadcaster’, the role of arbitration in the resolution of disputes arising in the course of implementation of the measures, and the fact that the executive order containing the list of events will apply to events for which contracts on exclusive rights are concluded after the executive order entered into force. It may therefore be concluded that the effects on the right to property, as provided for in Article 17 of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights, do not go beyond those which are intrinsically linked to the inclusion of the events in the list provided for in Article 14(1) of Directive 2010/13/EU. |

| (11) | For the same reasons, the Danish measures appear to be proportionate to justify derogation from the fundamental freedom to provide services laid down in Article 56 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The overriding public interest is to ensure wide public access to broadcasts of events of major importance for society. In addition, the Danish measures do not constitute any discrimination or market foreclosure against other Member States' broadcasters, right holders or other economic operators. |

| (12) | The designated measures are moreover compatible with Union competition rules. The definition of the qualifying broadcasters for the broadcasting of listed events is based on objective criteria, which allow actual and potential competition for acquiring the rights to broadcast these events. In addition, the number of designated events is not disproportionate to an extent that would distort competition on the downstream free-to-air and pay television markets. Therefore, it may be considered that the effects on freedom of competition do not go beyond those which are intrinsically linked to the inclusion of the events in the list provided for in Article 14(1) of Directive 2010/13/EU. |
