16  Requirement relating to testing for high efficiency fan installations
 (1) The model of each installed HE fan must be tested in accordance with this section to determine the parameters referred to in this section.
Requirement relating to conduct of testing
 (2) The testing may be done by or on behalf of:
 (a) the manufacturer or supplier of the fan; or
 (b) the project proponent.
 (3) The testing must be done by:
 (a) a NATA equivalent testing laboratory in accordance with AS ISO 5801‑2004; or
 (b) a testing laboratory with ISO 9001 certification for testing in accordance with AS ISO 5801‑2004.
Example: A testing laboratory that is certified under AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management systems – Requirements or ISO 9001:2015 Quality management systems – Requirements for testing in accordance with AS ISO 5801‑2004.
 (4) The model:
 (a) must be tested:
 (i) as a driven fan; and
 (ii) when the impeller is operating at optimum efficiency; and
 (iii) using the installation category that most closely resembles the configuration of the fan to be installed; and
 (iv) so that the motor input power at optimum efficiency for the impeller being tested is not materially different from the motor input power at optimum efficiency of the impeller of the fan as installed as part of the project; and
 (b) may be tested using the same drive, motor and transmission as will be used by the installed HE fan.
Parameters determined by testing
 (5) For subsection (1), the parameters are the following:
 (a) for a model that has a shaft—fan shaft power (PM,i);
 (b) for a model that does not have a shaft—fan impeller power (PM,i);
 (c) the motor efficiency of the model (𝜂M,i);
 (d) if the model is tested using:
 (i) installation category B or installation category D—fan air power (PU,i); or
 (ii) installation category A or installation category C—fan static air power (PU,i);
 (e) if the model is tested in accordance with paragraph (4)(b)—the motor input power (PE,i).
Note: The fan air power referred to in subparagraph (d)(i) is also referred to as the total fan air power or the total air power.
