            COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2017/254
of 30 November 2016
         
amending Delegated Regulations (EU) No 1059/2010, (EU) No 1060/2010, (EU) No 1061/2010, (EU) No 1062/2010, (EU) No 626/2011, (EU) No 392/2012, (EU) No 874/2012, (EU) No 665/2013, (EU) No 811/2013, (EU) No 812/2013, (EU) No 65/2014, (EU) No 1254/2014, (EU) 2015/1094, (EU) 2015/1186 and (EU) 2015/1187 with regard to the use of tolerances in verification procedures
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related products (1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Experience gained in implementing Commission Delegated Regulations adopted on the basis of Directive 2010/30/EU has revealed that the verification tolerances laid down in the delegated acts, and intended for use only by market surveillance authorities, have been used by some suppliers to establish the values required to be provided in the technical documentation or to interpret those values with a view to achieving a better energy labelling classification or to suggest, in other ways, better performance of their products.












(2)


The verification tolerances are designed to allow for variations that emerge in the measurements taken during verification tests, which are due to the differences in the measurement equipment used by suppliers and surveillance authorities across the Union. Verification tolerances should not be used by the supplier for establishing the values in the technical documentation or for interpreting those values in order to achieve a better energy labelling classification or to suggest better performance than has actually been measured and calculated. The parameters declared or published by the supplier should not be more favourable for the supplier than the values contained in the technical documentation.












(3)


To ensure fair competition, to realise the energy savings that the Regulations were designed to achieve, and to provide consumers with accurate information about the energy efficiency and functional performance of products, it should be clarified that the verification tolerances set out in the delegated acts may only be used by Member State authorities, for the purpose of verifying compliance.












(4)


Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) No 1059/2010 (2), (EU) No 1060/2010 (3), (EU) No 1061/2010 (4), (EU) No 1062/2010 (5), (EU) No 626/2011 (6), (EU) No 392/2012 (7), (EU) No 874/2012 (8), (EU) No 665/2013 (9), (EU) No 811/2013 (10), (EU) No 812/2013 (11), (EU) No 65/2014 (12), (EU) No 1254/2014 (13), (EU) 2015/1094 (14), (EU) 2015/1186 (15) and (EU) 2015/1187 (16) should therefore be amended accordingly,

(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 Article 5(b) of Directive 2010/30/EU (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 pursuant to point (iii) of the abovementioned Article; and










(b)


the values published on the label and in the product fiche 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 of 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 4.














(3)


If the results referred to in points 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model and all equivalent professional refrigerated storage cabinets that have been listed as equivalent models in the supplier's technical documentation shall be considered not to comply with this Delegated 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 been listed as equivalent models in the 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 tolerances given in Table 4.










(6)


If the result referred to in point 5 is not achieved, the model and all equivalent professional refrigerated storage cabinets that have been listed as equivalent models in the supplier's technical documentation shall be considered not to comply with this Delegated 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 after a decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model according to points 3 and 6.




The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annexes VIII and IX.
The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 4 and shall only use the 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.
