The size shall be such that the product fiche is clearly visible and legible. The product fiche may be displayed using a nested display, in which case the link used for accessing the fiche shall clearly and legibly indicate ‘Product fiche’. If nested display is used, the product fiche shall appear on the first mouse click, mouse roll-over or tactile screen expansion on the link.

For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation, measurements and calculations shall be made using designated standards, or using other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods that take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art methods. They shall meet the conditions and technical parameters set out in points 2 to 5.

Solid fuel boilers shall be tested with the preferred fuel. The declared value for the seasonal space heating energy efficiency shall be rounded to the nearest integer.

For solid fuel cogeneration boilers the electrical efficiency value ηel,n is also measured. The seasonal space heating energy efficiency ηs shall be calculated as the seasonal space heating energy efficiency in active mode ηson , corrected by contributions accounting for temperature controls, auxiliary electricity consumption, and, for solid fuel cogeneration boilers, by adding the electrical efficiency multiplied by a conversion coefficient CC of 2,5; The consumption of electricity shall be multiplied by a conversion coefficient CC of 2,5.

Seasonal space heating energy efficiency ηs is defined as: ηs = ηson – F(1) – F(2) + F(3) where: ηson is the seasonal space heating energy efficiency in active mode, expressed as a percentage, calculated as set out in point 4(b); F(1) accounts for a loss of seasonal space heating energy efficiency due to adjusted contributions of temperature controls; F(1) = 3 %; F(2) accounts for a negative contribution to the seasonal space heating energy efficiency by auxiliary electricity consumption, expressed as a percentage, and is calculated as set out in point 4(c); F(3) accounts for a positive contribution to the seasonal space heating energy efficiency by the electrical efficiency of solid fuel cogeneration boilers, expressed as a percentage, and is calculated as follows: F(3) = 2,5 × ηel,n the seasonal space heating energy efficiency in active mode, ηson , is calculated as follows: for manually stoked solid fuel boilers that can be operated at 50 % of the rated heat output in continuous mode, and for automatically stoked solid fuel boilers: ηson = 0,85 × ηp + 0,15 × ηn for manually stoked solid fuel boilers that cannot be operated at 50 % or less of the rated heat output in continuous mode, and for solid fuel cogeneration boilers: ηson = ηn F(2) is calculated as follows: for manually stoked solid fuel boilers that can be operated at 50 % of the rated heat output in continuous mode, and for automatically stoked solid fuel boilers: F(2) = 2,5 × (0,15 × elmax + 0,85 × elmin + 1,3 × PSB )/(0,15 × Pn + 0,85 × Pp ) for manually stoked solid fuel boilers that cannot be operated at 50 % or less of the rated heat output in continuous mode, and for solid fuel cogeneration boilers: F(2) = 2,5 × (elmax + 1,3 × PSB )/Pn

The gross calorific value (GCV) shall be obtained from the gross calorific value moisture free (GCVmf ) by applying the following conversion:

EEI = ηson × 100 × BLF – F(1) – F(2) × 100 + F(3) × 100

ηson is the seasonal space heating energy efficiency in active mode, calculated as set out in point 4(b) of Annex VIII; BLF is the biomass label factor, which is 1,45 for biomass boilers and 1 for fossil fuel boilers; F(1) accounts for a negative contribution to the energy efficiency index due to adjusted contributions of temperature controls; F(1) = 3; F(2) accounts for a negative contribution to the energy efficiency index by auxiliary electricity consumption, and is calculated as set out in point 4(c) of Annex VIII; F(3) accounts for a positive contribution to the energy efficiency index by the electrical efficiency of solid fuel cogeneration boilers, and is calculated as follows: F(3) = 2,5 × ηel,n

The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of packages of a solid fuel boiler, supplementary heaters, temperature controls and solar devices shall determined in accordance with point 2 of Annex IV.
