ANNEX IV

Verification procedures

When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following verification procedure for the requirements set out in Annex II:

| 1. | The Member State authorities shall test one single unit per model. |
| --- | --- |

1.

The Member State authorities shall test one single unit per model.

| 2. | The air heating product, cooling product, high temperature process chiller or fan coil unit model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex II to this Regulation:






  (a) | if the declared values comply with the requirements set out in Annex II and if the values provided, and the values used to determine these values for the compliance of the model are not more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the values in the technical documentation file, including test reports; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

2.

The air heating product, cooling product, high temperature process chiller or fan coil unit model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex II to this Regulation:

(a)

if the declared values comply with the requirements set out in Annex II and if the values provided, and the values used to determine these values for the compliance of the model are not more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the values in the technical documentation file, including test reports; and

| (b) | if, when testing, the unit all measured parameters and the values calculated from these measurement(s) show compliance with the respective tolerances below:






  (1) | if, for air heating products, the seasonal space heating energy efficiency ηs,h
  is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the rated heating capacity of the unit; |
| --- | --- | --- |

(b)

if, when testing, the unit all measured parameters and the values calculated from these measurement(s) show compliance with the respective tolerances below:

(1)

if, for air heating products, the seasonal space heating energy efficiency ηs,h
  is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the rated heating capacity of the unit;

| (2) | if, for cooling products, the seasonal space cooling energy efficiency ηs,c is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the rated cooling capacity of the unit; |
| --- | --- |

(2)

if, for cooling products, the seasonal space cooling energy efficiency ηs,c is not less than the declared value minus 8 % at the rated cooling capacity of the unit;

| (3) | if, for air heating product and/or cooling products, the sound power level LWA is not more than the declared value plus 2,0 dB; |
| --- | --- |

(3)

if, for air heating product and/or cooling products, the sound power level LWA is not more than the declared value plus 2,0 dB;

| (4) | if, for air heating or cooling products using fuels, the emissions of nitrogen oxides, expressed in nitrogen dioxide, are not more than the declared value plus 20 %; |
| --- | --- |

(4)

if, for air heating or cooling products using fuels, the emissions of nitrogen oxides, expressed in nitrogen dioxide, are not more than the declared value plus 20 %;

| (5) | if, for high temperature process chiller products, the SEPR value is not less than the declared value minus 10 % at the rated refrigeration capacity of the unit and the rated energy efficiency ratio EERA
  is not more than 5 % lower than the declared value, measured at the rated refrigeration capacity. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

if, for high temperature process chiller products, the SEPR value is not less than the declared value minus 10 % at the rated refrigeration capacity of the unit and the rated energy efficiency ratio EERA
  is not more than 5 % lower than the declared value, measured at the rated refrigeration capacity.

| 3. | For air heating product, cooling product, high temperature process chiller or fan coil unit models with a rated heating, cooling or refrigeration capacity ≥ 70 kW or that are produced in lower quantities than 5 per year, if the result referred to in point 2 is not achieved, the model and any other model where the information included in the technical documentation was obtained on the same basis shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. |
