  "text": "(1) The EEI is determined as follows.\n(2) For all refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function, the EEI, expressed in per cent and rounded to the first decimal place, is the ratio of the AE (in kWh/a) and the reference SAE (in kWh/a) and is calculated as—\nEEI = AE/SAE.\n(3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) the AE, expressed in kWh/a and rounded to two decimal places, is calculated as follows—\nAE = 365 × Edaily;\nwhere Edaily is the energy consumption of the refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function over 24 hours, expressed in kWh/24h and rounded to three decimal places.\n(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) the SAE, expressed in kWh/a and rounded to two decimal places, is calculated as follows—\n(a) for refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function where all compartments have the same temperature class, and for refrigerated vending machines, the SAE is calculated as—\nSAE = 365 × P × (M + N × Y) × C;\n(b) for all other refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function, the SAE is calculated as—\nSAE=365×P× ∑ c=1 n ( M±N×Yc ) ×Cc\n(5) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)—\n(a) c is the index number for a compartment type ranging from 1 to n, with n being the total number of compartment types;\n(b) the values of M and N are as set out in Table 6;\n(c) the values of C (the temperature coefficient) are set out in Table 7; for any appliance not listed in Table 7, the value of C is 1;\n(d) coefficient Y is calculated as follows—\n(i) for beverage coolers, Yc is the equivalent volume of the compartments of the beverage cooler with target temperature Tc, (Veqc), calculated as follows—\nYc = Veqc = GrossVolumec × ((25 - Tc)/20) × CC;\nwhere—\nTc is the average compartment temperature and CC is the climate class factor;\nthe values for Tc are as set out in Table 8;\nthe values for CC are as set out in Table 9;\n(ii) for ice-cream freezers, Yc is the equivalent volume of the compartments of the ice-cream freezer with target temperature Tc, (Veqc), calculated as follows—\nYc = Veqc = NetVolumec × ((12 - Tc)/30) × CC; where—\nTc is the average compartment temperature and CC is the climate class factor;\nthe values for Tc are as set out in Table 10;\nthe values for CC are as set out in Table 11;\n(iii) for refrigerated vending machines, Y is the net volume of the refrigerated vending machine, which is the sum of the volumes of all compartments within which the products directly available for vending are contained and the volume through which the products pass during the dispensing process, expressed in litres (L) and rounded to the nearest integer;\n(iv) for all other refrigerating appliances with direct sales function, Yc is the sum of the TDA of all compartments of the same temperature class of the refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function, expressed in square meters (m2), and rounded to two decimal places;\n(e) the values of P are set out in Table 12.\nTable 6\nM and N values\nCategory\nValue for M\nValue for N\nBeverage coolers\n2.1\n0.006\nIce-cream freezers\n2.0\n0.009\nRefrigerated vending machines\n4.1\n0.004\nGelato-scooping cabinets\n25.0\n30.4\nVertical and combined supermarket refrigerator cabinets\n9.1\n9.1\nHorizontal supermarket refrigerator cabinets\n3.7\n3.5\nVertical and combined supermarket freezer cabinets\n7.5\n19.3\nHorizontal supermarket freezer cabinets\n4.0\n10.3\nRoll-in cabinets (until 31 August 2023)\n9.2\n11.6\nRoll-in cabinets (from 1 September 2023)\n9.1\n9.1\nTable 7\nTemperature conditions and corresponding coefficient (C) values\nPart 1 – supermarket and gelato cabinets\nCategory\nTemperature class\nHighest temperature of warmest M-package (°C)\nLowest temperature of coldest M-package (°C)\nHighest minimum temperature of all M-packages (°C)\nValue for C\nVertical and combined supermarket refrigerator cabinets\nM2\n≤ +7\n≥ -1\nN/A\n1.00\nH1 and H2\n≤ +10\n≥ -1\nN/A\n0.82\nM1\n≤ +5\n≥ -1\nN/A\n1.15\nHorizontal supermarket refrigerator cabinets\nM2\n≤ +7\n≥ -1\nN/A\n1.00\nH1 and H2\n≤ +10\n≥ -1\nN/A\n0.92\nM1\n≤ +5\n≥ -1\nN/A\n1.08\nVertical and combined supermarket freezer cabinets\nL1\n≤ -15\nN/A\n≤ -18\n1.00\nL2\n≤ -12\nN/A\n≤ -18\n0.9\nL3\n≤ -12\nN/A\n≤ -15\n0.9\nHorizontal supermarket freezer cabinets\nL1\n≤ -15\nN/A\n≤ -18\n1.00\nL2\n≤ -12\nN/A\n≤ -18\n0.92\nL3\n≤ -12\nN/A\n≤ -15\n0.92\nVertical and combined refrigerator supermarket cabinets\nM0\n≤ + 4\n≥ -
