# Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2016 of 11 March 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of refrigerating appliances and repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1060/2010 (Text with EEA relevance), Division 4: Determination of the standard annual energy consumption (SAE):

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

(a)For all refrigerating appliances:
SAE, expressed in kWh/a, and rounded to two decimal places, is calculated as follows:
SAE = C × D × Σ n c = 1 A c × B c × [V c /V] × (N c + V × r c × M c )
where
c is the index number for a compartment type ranging from 1 to n, with n the total number of compartment types;
Vc , expressed in dm3 or litres and rounded to the first decimal place is the compartment volume;
V, expressed in dm3 or litres and rounded to the nearest integer is the volume with V≤∑c=1nVc;
rc, Nc, Mc and C are modelling parameters specific to each compartment with values as set out in Table 4; and
Ac, Bc and D are the compensation factors with values as set out in Table 5.
When carrying out the calculations above, for the variable temperature compartments, the compartment type with the lowest target temperature for which it is declared suitable is chosen.
(b)Modelling parameters per compartment type for the calculation of SAE:
The modelling parameters are set out in Table 4.
Table 4
The values of the modelling parameters per compartment type
rc = (Ta-Tc)/20; with Ta = 24 °C and Tc with values as set out in Table 3.
C for combi appliances with 3-or 4-star compartments is determined as follows:
where frzf is the 3- or 4-star compartment volume Vfr as a fraction of V with frzf = Vfr/V:
if frzf ≤ 0,3 then C =1,3 + 0,87 × frzf;
else if 0,3 < frzf < 0,7 then C =1,87 - 1,0275 × frzf;
else C =1,15.
