  "text": "Annex IV is replaced by the following:\nANNEX IV\nProduct compliance verification by market surveillance authorities\nThe verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member State authorities and shall not be used by the manufacturer or importer as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation or in interpreting these values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means.\nWhen verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Regulation pursuant to Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, for the requirements referred to in this Annex, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure:\n(1) The Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.\n(2) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:\n(a) the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to point 2 of Annex IV to Directive 2009/125/EC (declared values), and, where applicable, the values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the results of the corresponding measurements carried out pursuant to paragraph (g) thereof; and\n(b) the declared values meet any requirements laid down in this Regulation, and any required product information published by the manufacturer or importer does not contain values that are more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the declared values; and\n(c) when the Member State authorities test the unit of the model, the determined values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 30.\n(3) If the results referred to in point 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model and any other model where the information included in the technical documentation was obtained on the same basis shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.\n(4) For air heating product, cooling product, high temperature process chiller or fan coil unit models with a rated heating, cooling or refrigeration capacity ≥ 70 kW or that are produced in lower quantities than 5 per year, if the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the model and any other model where the information included in the technical documentation was obtained on the same basis shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.\n(5) For air heating product, cooling product, high temperature process chiller or fan coil unit models with a rated heating, cooling or refrigeration capacity < 70 kW or that are produced in quantities of 5 or more per year, if the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select three additional units of the same model for testing.\n(6) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, for these three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the respective verification tolerances given in Table 30.\n(7) If the result referred to in point 6 is not achieved, the model and any other model where the information included in the technical documentation was obtained on the same basis shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.\n(8) The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model according to points 3, 4 and 7.\nThe Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex III.\nThe Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 30 and shall only use the procedure described in points 1 to 8 for the requirements referred to in this Annex. No other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.\nTable 30\nVerification tolerances\nParameters\nVerification tolerance\nSeasonal space heating energy efficiency (ηs,h ) for air heating products at the rated heating capacity of the unit\nThe determined value shall not be lower than the declared value by more than 8 %.\nSeasonal space cooling energy efficiency (ηs,c ) for cooling products at the rated cooling capacity of the unit\nThe determined value shall not be lower than the declared value by more than 8 %.\nSound power level (LWA ) for air heating products and cooling products\nThe determined value shall not exceed the declared value by more than 1,5 dB.\nEmissions of nitrogen oxides for fuel fired air heating products and cooling products expressed in nitrogen dioxide\nThe determined value shall not exceed the declared value by more than 20 %.\nSeasonal energy performance ratio (SEPR) of high temperature process chillers at the rated refrigeration capacity of the unit\nThe determined value shall not be lower than the declared value by more than 10 %.\nRated energy efficiency ratio (EERA ) of high temperature process chillers at the rated refrigeration capacity\nThe determined value shall not be lower than the declared value by more than 5 %.",
