F3Words in Annex 4 substituted (31.12.2020) by The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/539), reg. 1(3), Sch. 2 para. 25(11)(b) (as amended by S.I. 2020/1528, regs. 1(2), 6(3)(4)(b)(xxiii)); 2020 c. 1, Sch. 5 para. 1(1)
(1)
The [F2Great Britain] authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.
(2)
The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:
(a)
the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to [F4paragraph 1(2) of Part 1 of Schedule 1A to the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010], 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 [F5paragraph 1(2)(b)(vii) of Part 1 of Schedule 1A to those Regulations]; and
(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
(c)
when the [F2Great Britain] 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 4. The unit shall be tested with one or more fuels with characteristics in the same range as the fuel(s) that were used by the manufacturer to perform the measurements described in Annex III.
(3)
If the results referred to in point 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model and all models that have been listed as equivalent models in the manufacturer's or importer's technical documentation shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.
(4)
If the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the [F2Great Britain] authorities shall select three additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the three additional units selected may be of one or more different models that have been listed as equivalent models in the manufacturer's or importer's technical documentation.
(5)
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 4.
(6)
If the result referred to in point 5 is not achieved, the model and all models that have been listed as equivalent models in the manufacturer's or importer's technical documentation shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.
