It is calculated in litres and rounded to the nearest integer as: Veq=∑c=1c=nVc×25 −Tc20× FFc× CC × BIwhere: n is the number of compartments Vc is the storage volume of the compartment(s) Tc is the nominal temperature of the compartment(s) as set out in Table 2 25 −Tc20 is the thermodynamic factor as set in Table 5 FFc , CC and BI are volume correction factors as set out in Table 6. The thermodynamic correction factor 25 −Tc20 is the temperature difference between the nominal temperature of a compartment Tc (defined in Table 2) and the ambient temperature under standard test conditions at + 25 °C, expressed as a ratio of the same difference for a fresh-food compartment at + 5 °C. The thermodynamic factors for the compartments described in Annex I, points (i) to (p), are set out in Table 5. ### Division: Notes: ## (i) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## (ii) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## (iii) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ### Division: Notes: ## (i) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## (ii) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## (iii) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## 3 CALCULATION OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDEX . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## Annex V Product compliance verification by market surveillance authorities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## Annex VI Indicative benchmarks for household refrigerating appliances At the time of entry into force of this Regulation, the best available technology on the market for household refrigerating appliances in terms of their Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) and noise was identified as follows. ## Refrigerators, compression-type: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## Refrigerators, absorption-type: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## Refrigerator-freezers, compression-type: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## Upright freezers, compression-type: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## Chest freezers, compression-type: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2009/643 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/eu-regulation-2009-643 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
