# Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2281 of 30 November 2016 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products, with regard to ecodesign requirements for air heating products, cooling products, high temperature process chillers and fan coil units (Text with EEA relevance), Division 5: Product information:

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(a) From 1 January 2018, the instruction manuals for installers and end-users, and free access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers shall provide the following product information:
(1) for warm air heaters, the information set out in Table 9 of this Annex, measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III;
(2) for comfort chillers, the information set out in Table 10 of this Annex, measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III;
(3) for air-to-air air conditioners, the information set out in Table 11 of this Annex, measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III;
(4) for water/brine-to-air air conditioners, the information set out in Table 12 of this Annex, measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III;
(5) for fan coil units, the information set out in Table 13 of this Annex, measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III;
(6) for heat pumps, the information set out in Table 14 of this Annex, measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III;
(7) for high temperature process chillers, the information set out in Table 15 of this Annex, measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III;
(8) any specific precautions that must be taken when the product is assembled, installed or maintained;
(9) for heat generators or cold generators designed for air heating or cooling products, and air heating or cooling product housings to be equipped with such heat or cold generators, their characteristics, the requirements for assembly, to ensure compliance with the ecodesign requirements for air heating or cooling products and, where appropriate, the list of combinations recommended by the manufacturer;

(11) for B1, C2 and C4 warm air heaters the following standard text: ‘This warm air heater is intended to be connected only to a flue shared between multiple dwellings in existing buildings. Due to a lower efficiency, any other use of this warm air heater shall be avoided and would result in higher energy consumption and higher operating costs’.
(b) From 1 January 2018, the instruction manuals for installers and end-users, and a part for professionals of the free-access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers shall provide the following product information:
(1) information relevant for disassembly, recycling and/or disposal at end-of-life.
(c) The technical documentation for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4 shall contain the following elements:
(1) the elements specified in point (a);
(2) where the information relating to a specific model has been obtained by calculation on the basis of design, and/or extrapolation from other combinations, the technical documentation shall include details of such calculations and/or extrapolations, and of tests undertaken to verify the accuracy of the calculations undertaken, including details of the mathematical model for calculating performance of such combinations, and of measurements taken to verify this model, and a list of any other models where the information included in the technical documentation was obtained on the same basis.
(d) The manufacturer, their authorised representatives and importers of comfort chillers, air-to-air and water/brine-to-air air conditioners, heat pumps and high temperature process chillers shall provide laboratories performing market surveillance checks, upon request, the necessary information on the setting of the unit, as applied for the establishment of declared capacities, SEER/EER, SCOP/COP, SEPR/COP values, where applicable, and provide contact information for obtaining such information.
