Regulations 8(2) and 12
SCHEDULE 2THE INFORMATION NOTICE
1. The information notice shall contain the information specified below. The information may be given in a more general description of the air conditioner or in the form of a table covering a number of models supplied by the same supplier (in which case it shall be given in the order specified).
(1) Supplier’s trade mark.
(2) Supplier’s model identifier.
For ‘split and multi-split units’ the model identifier of the indoor and of the outdoor elements of the combination to which the figures quoted below apply.
(3) The energy efficiency class of the model, determined in accordance with Schedule 3 and expressed as ‘Energy efficiency class on a scale of A (more efficient) to G (less efficient)’. Where this information is provided in a table, it may be expressed by other means provided it is clear that the scale is from A (more efficient) to G (less efficient).
(4) Where the information is provided in a table, and where some of the appliances listed in the table have been granted a ‘European Union eco-label’ under Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, the row heading shall state ‘European Union eco-label’ and the entry shall consist of a copy of the eco-label. This provision is without prejudice to any requirements under the Community eco-label award scheme.
(5) The indicative annual consumption of energy based on an average use of 500 hours per year, determined in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards (conditions T1 ‘moderate’).
(6) The cooling output defined as the cooling capacity in kW of the appliance in cooling mode at full load, determined in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards (conditions T1 ‘moderate’).
(7) The EER (energy efficiency ratio) of the appliance in cooling mode at full load, determined in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards (conditions T1 ‘moderate’).
(8) The type of appliance: cooling only, cooling/heating.
(9) The cooling mode: air cooled, water cooled.
(10) In the case of appliances with heating capability:
(a)the heat output defined as heating capacity in kW of the appliance in heating mode at full load, determined in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards (conditions T1 +7C).
(b)the heating mode energy efficiency class in accordance with Schedule 3, expressed on a scale of A (higher) to G (lower), determined in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards (conditions T1 +7C). If the appliance heating capability is provided by a resistive element then the COP (coefficient of performance) shall have the value of 1.
(11) Where applicable, noise during standard function, determined in accordance with Directive 86/594/EEC.
(12) Suppliers may include in addition the information in sub-paragraphs (5) to (8) in respect of other test conditions determined in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards.
2. If a copy of the label, either in colour or black and white is included in the information notice, then only the information which is not included on the label needs to be added.
