# Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2018 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 with a direct sales function (Text with EEA relevance), Division 2: Determination of the EEI:

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

(a) For all refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function, the EEI, expressed in % and rounded to the first decimal place, is the ratio of the AE (in kWh/a) and the reference SAE (in kWh/a) and is calculated as:
EEI = AE/SAE.
(b) The AE, expressed in kWh/a and rounded to two decimal places, is calculated as follows:
AE = 365 × Edaily ;
with:
Edaily is the energy consumption of the refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function over 24 hours, expressed in kWh/24h and rounded to three decimal places.
(c) The SAE is expressed in kWh/a and rounded to two decimal places. For refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function with all compartments having the same temperature class and for refrigerated vending machines, the SAE is calculated as follows:
SAE = 365 × P × (M + N × Y) × C;
For refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function with more than one compartment having different temperature classes, with the exception of refrigerated vending machines, the SAE is calculated as follows:
SAE = 365 × P × ∑ c=1 n M + N × Y c × C c ;
where:
(1) c is the index number for a compartment type ranging from 1 to n, with n being the total number of compartment types.
(2) The values of M and N are given in Table 3.

(4) Coefficient Y is calculated as follows:
(a) for beverage coolers:
Yc is the equivalent volume of the compartments of the beverage cooler with target temperature Tc, (Veq c), calculated as follows:
Yc = Veq c = GrossVolumec × ((25 - Tc)/20) × CC;
where Tc is the average compartment classification temperature of the compartment and CC is the climate class factor. The values for Tc are set out in Table 5. The values for CC are set out in Table 6.

Yc = Veq c = NetVolume × ((12 - Tc)/30) × CC;
where Tc is the average compartment classification temperature of the compartment and CC is the climate class factor. The values for Tc are set out in Table 7. The values for CC are set out in Table 8.
