For the purposes of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation, measurements shall be made using a reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedure that takes into account the generally recognised state of the art measurement methods, including methods set out in documents the reference numbers of which have been published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The following general conditions for testing apply:
if anti-condensation heaters that can be switched on and off by the end-user are provided, they shall be switched on and — if adjustable — set at maximum heating;
if ‘through-the-door devices’ (such as ice or chilled water/drinks dispensers) which can be switched on and off by the end-user are provided, they shall be switched on during the energy consumption measurement but not operated;
for multi-use appliances and compartments, the storage temperature during the measurement of energy consumption shall be the nominal temperature of the coldest compartment type as claimed for continuous normal use according to the manufacturer’s instructions;
the energy consumption of a refrigerating appliance shall be determined in the coldest configuration, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for continuous normal use for any ‘other compartment’ as defined in Annex IV, Table 5.
The following parameters shall be established:
‘overall dimensions’, which are measured to the nearest millimetre;
‘overall space required in use’, which is measured to the nearest millimetre;
‘total gross volumes(s)’, which is measured to the nearest whole number of cubic decimetres or litres;
‘storage volume(s) and total storage volume(s)’, which is measured to the nearest whole number of cubic decimetres or of litres;
‘defrosting type’;
‘storage temperature’;
‘energy consumption’ which is expressed in kilowatt hours per 24 hours (kWh/24h), to three decimal places;
‘[X1duration of temperature rise]’;
‘freezing capacity’;
‘power consumption’, which is measured in Watts rounded to two decimal places; and
‘wine storage compartment humidity’, which is expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest integer.
