Division 1 The energy efficiency of air conditioners shall be determined on the basis of measurements and calculations set out Annex VII.

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Both the SEER and SCOP shall take into account the reference design conditions and the operational hours per relevant mode of operation, and the SCOP shall relate to the heating season ‘average’, as laid down in Annex VII. The rated energy efficiency ratio (EERrated) and the rated coefficient of performance (COPrated) shall relate to standard rating conditions, as laid down in Annex VII.
