United Kingdom

(a)

From 1 July 2016, the coefficient of performance (COP) and the seasonal energy performance ratio (SEPR) of condensing units shall not fall below the following values:

Operating temperature	Rated capacity P_A	Applicable ratio	Value
Medium	0,2 kW≤ P_A ≤ 1 kW	COP	1,20
	1 kW< P_A ≤ 5 kW	COP	1,40
	5 kW < P_A ≤ 20 kW	SEPR	2,25
	20 kW < P_A ≤ 50 kW	SEPR	2,35
Low	0,1 kW≤ P_A ≤ 0,4 kW	COP	0,75
	0,4 kW< P_A ≤ 2 kW	COP	0,85
	2 kW < P_A ≤ 8kW	SEPR	1,50
	8 kW < P_A ≤ 20 kW	SEPR	1,60

(b)

From 1 July 2018, the coefficient of performance (COP) and the seasonal energy performance ratio (SEPR) of condensing units shall not fall below the following values:

Operating temperature	Rated capacity P_A	Applicable ratio	Value
Medium	0,2 kW≤ P_A ≤ 1kW	COP	1,40
	1 kW< P_A ≤ 5 kW	COP	1,60
	5 kW < P_A ≤ 20 kW	SEPR	2,55
	20 kW < P_A ≤ 50 kW	SEPR	2,65

	8 kW < P_A ≤ 20 kW	SEPR	1,70

(c)
For condensing units intended to be charged with a refrigerant fluid with a global warming potential lower than 150, COP and SEPR values can be lower than the values indicated in point 1(a) by a maximum of 15 % and in point 1(b) by a maximum of 10 %
(d)
Condensing units capable of operating both at medium and low temperature shall comply with the requirements of each category for which they are declared.
