  "text": "From 1 July 2016, the following product information on condensing units shall be provided:\n(a) the instruction manuals for installers and end-users, and free access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers, shall contain the following elements:\n(i) intended evaporating temperature, expressed in degrees Celsius (medium temperature – 10 °C, low temperature – 35 °C);\n(ii) for condensing units with a rated cooling capacity lower than 5kW and 2kW for medium and low temperatures respectively:\nthe rated COP, at full load and 32 °C ambient temperature, rounded to two decimal places, and rated cooling capacity and power input, expressed in kW and rounded to two decimal places;\nthe COP value, at full load and 25 °C ambient temperature, rounded to two decimal places, and corresponding cooling capacity and power input, expressed in kW and rounded to two decimal places;\n(iii) for condensing units with a rated cooling capacity higher than 5kW and 2kW for medium and low operating temperatures respectively:\nthe SEPR value, rounded to two decimal places;\nthe annual electricity consumption, expressed in kWh per year;\nthe rated cooling capacity, rated power input and rated COP;\nthe declared cooling capacity and declared power input, expressed in kW and rounded to three decimal places, and the COP value, rounded to two decimal places, at rating points B, C and D;\n(iv) for condensing units intended for use at ambient temperature above 35 °C, the COP value, at full load and 43 °C ambient temperature, rounded to two decimal places, and corresponding cooling capacity and power input, expressed in kW and rounded to two decimal places;\n(v) the type(s) and name(s) of refrigerant fluid(s) intended to be used with the condensing unit;\n(vi) any specific precautions that are to be taken when the condensing unit is maintained;\n(vii) any specific precautions that are to be taken to optimise the efficiency of the condensing unit when it is integrated into a refrigerating appliance;\n(viii) information relevant for recycling or disposal at end-of-life.\n(b) a section of the free access websites of manufacturers for installers and other professionals, their authorised representatives, or importers shall be provided, containing information relevant for:\n(i) installation in order to optimise energy efficiency of the appliances;\n(ii) non-destructive disassembly for maintenance purposes;\n(iii) disassembly and dismantling for disposal at end-of life.\n(c) the technical documentation for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4 shall contain the following elements:\n(i) the elements specified in point (a);\n(ii) where the information relating to a specific model has been obtained by calculation on the basis of design or extrapolation from other combinations, the details of such calculations or extrapolations, and of any tests undertaken to verify the accuracy of the calculations, including details of the mathematical model for calculating the performance of such combinations and details of the measurements taken to verify that model.\nTables 4 and 5 below provide
