COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 626/2011

of 4 May 2011

supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to

energy labelling of air conditioners

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

(4) Directive 2002/31/EC should be repealed and new

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European

Union,

provisions should be laid down by this Regulation in order to ensure that the energy label provides dynamic incentives for manufacturers to further improve the energy efficiency of air conditioners and to accelerate the market transformation towards energy-efficient tech­nologies.

Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of 19 May 2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources energy-related products ( 1 ), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

(5) The provisions of this Regulation should apply to air-to-

air air conditioners up to 12 kW cooling power output

(or heating power output, if only heating function is provided).

Whereas:

products representing significant potential for energy savings and having a wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent functionality.

improvement of air conditioners have been very rapid in recent years. This has allowed several third-countries to introduce stringent minimum energy efficiency requirements and led to a process of introducing new energy labelling schemes based on seasonal performance. Today's appliances, excluding single and double duct air conditioners, that achieve the highest efficiency levels have largely surpassed the A efficiency levels established by Directive 2002/31/EC.

for the energy labelling of air conditioners (2) Provisions

were established by Commission Directive 2002/31/EC

of 22 March 2002 implementing Council Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household air-conditioners ( 2 ). The implementing Directive estab­lishes different labelling scales for air conditioners using different technologies and the determination of energy efficiency is based on full load operation only.

based on the primary function and on specific aspects important to consumer. Given that air conditioners are used mainly in part-load conditions, the efficiency testing should be changed to a seasonal efficiency measurement method, except for single and double duct air condi­tioners. The seasonal measurement method takes better into account the benefits of the inverter driven tech­nology and the conditions in which these appliances are used. The new efficiency calculation method with an Ecodesign implementing measure setting minimum energy efficiency requirements higher than the current A level, will lead to a reclassification of these appliances. Consequently, split, window and wall air conditioners should have a new A-G energy efficiency class scale with a ‘+’ added on the top of the scale every two

years until the A+++ class has been reached.

(8)

For double duct and single duct air conditioners, steady-

state energy efficiency performance indicators should continue to be applied, as there are currently no inverter units on the market. As no reclassification of these appliances is appropriate, single and double duct air conditioners should have an A+++-D scale. While these, inherently less efficient than split appliances, can go only up to an A+ energy efficiency class in a scale of A+++-D, the more efficient split appliances can reach up to the A+++ energy efficiency class.

(17) In order to facilitate the transition from Directive

2002/31/EC to this Regulation, air conditioners labelled

in accordance with this Regulation should be considered compliant with Directive 2002/31/EC.

(18)

Suppliers wishing to place on the market air conditioners that can meet the requirements for higher energy effi­ciency classes should be allowed to provide labels showing those classes in advance of the date for mandatory display of such classes.
