Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1060/2010

of 28 September 2010

supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of household refrigerating appliances

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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

Whereas:

(1) Directive 2010/30/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling of energy-related products representing significant potential for energy savings and having a wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent functionality.

(2) Provisions on the energy labelling of household refrigerating appliances were established by Commission Directive 94/2/EC of 21 January 1994 implementing Council Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household electric refrigerators, freezers and their combinations(2).

(3) The electricity used by household refrigerating appliances accounts for a significant share of total household electricity demand in the Union. In addition to the energy efficiency improvements already achieved, the scope for further reducing the energy consumption of household refrigerating appliances is substantial.

(4) Directive 94/2/EC should be repealed and new provisions should be laid down by this Regulation in order to ensure that the energy label provides dynamic incentives for manufacturers to further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 household refrigerating appliances and to accelerate the market transformation towards energy-efficient technologies.

(5) The combined effect of the provisions set out in this Regulation, and in Commission Regulation (EC) No 643/2009 of 22 July 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for household refrigerating appliances(3), could amount to annual electricity savings of 6 TWh by 2020(4), compared to the situation if no measures were taken.

(6) There is also an opportunity for energy savings for products in the growing markets of absorption-type refrigerating appliances and wine storage appliances. Those appliances should therefore be included in the scope of this Regulation.

(7) Absorption-type refrigerating appliances are noiseless, but consume significantly more energy than compression-type appliances. In order for end-users to make an informed decision, information on airborne acoustical noise emissions of household refrigerating appliances should be included on the label.

(8) The information provided on the label should be obtained through reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedures that take into account the recognised state-of-the-art measurement methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation bodies, as listed in Annex I to Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services(5).

(9) This Regulation should specify a uniform design and content for the label for household refrigerating appliances.

(10) In addition, this Regulation should specify requirements as to the technical documentation and the fiche for household refrigerating appliances.

(11) Moreover, this Regulation should specify requirements as to the information to be provided for any form of distance selling, advertisements and technical promotional materials for household refrigerating appliances.

(12) It is appropriate to provide for a review of the provisions of this Regulation taking into account technological progress.

(13) In order to facilitate the transition from Directive 94/2/EC to this Regulation, household refrigerating appliances labelled in accordance with this Regulation should be considered compliant with Directive 94/2/EC.

(14) Directive 94/2/EC should therefore be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

2. CALCULATION OF THE EQUIVALENT VOLUME U.K.

The equivalent volume of a household refrigerating appliance is the sum of the equivalent volumes of all compartments. It is calculated in litres and rounded to the nearest integer as:

where:

• n is the number of compartments,

• V_c is the storage volume of the compartment(s),

• T_c is the nominal temperature of the compartment(s) as set out in Table 2,

• is the thermodynamic factor as set in Table 5,

• FF_c , CC and BI are volume correction factors as set out in Table 6.

The thermodynamic correction factor is the temperature difference between the nominal temperature of a compartment T_c (defined in Table 2) and the ambient temperature under standard test conditions at + 25 °C, expressed as a ratio of the same difference for a fresh-food compartment at + 5 °C.

The thermodynamic factors for the compartments described in Annex I, points (g) to (n), are set out in Table 5.

Table 5

Thermodynamic factors for refrigerating appliance compartments

Compartment	Nominal temperature	(25-Tc )/20
Other compartment	Design temperature
Cellar compartment/Wine storage compartment	+ 12 °C	0,65
Fresh-food storage compartment	+ 5 °C	1,0
Chill compartment	0 °C	1,25
Ice-making compartment and 0-star compartment	0 °C	1,25
One-star compartment	– 6 °C	1,55
Two-star compartment	– 12 °C	1,85
Three-star compartment	– 18 °C	2,15
Food freezer compartment (four-star compartment)	– 18 °C	2,15

Notes: U.K.

(i) for multi-use compartments, the thermodynamic factor is determined by the nominal temperature as given in Table 2 of the coldest compartment type capable of being set by the end-user and maintained continuously according to the manufacturer’s instructions; U.K.

(ii) for any two-star section (within a freezer) the thermodynamic factor is determined at T_c = – 12 °C; U.K.

(iii) for other compartments the thermodynamic factor is determined by the coldest design temperature capable of being set by the end-user and maintained continuously according to the manufacturer’s instructions. U.K.

Table 6

Value of the correction factors

Correction factor	Value	Conditions
FF (frost-free)	1,2	For frost-free frozen-food storage compartments
	1	Otherwise
CC (climate class)	1,2	For T class (tropical) appliances
	1,1	For ST class (subtropical) appliances
	1	Otherwise
BI (built-in)	1,2	For built-in appliances under 58 cm in width
	1	Otherwise

Notes: U.K.

(i) FF is the volume correction factor for frost-free compartments; U.K.

(ii) CC is the volume correction factor for a given climate class. If a refrigerating appliance is classified in more than one climate class, the climate class with the highest correction factor is used for the calculation of the equivalent volume; U.K.

(iii) BI is the volume correction factor for built-in appliances. U.K.

3. CALCULATION OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDEX U.K.

For the calculation of the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of a household refrigerating appliance model, the annual energy consumption of the household refrigerating appliance is compared to its standard annual energy consumption.

(1)

The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) is calculated and rounded to the first decimal place, as:

where:

AE_C

=

annual energy consumption of the household refrigerating appliance

SAE_C

=

standard annual energy consumption of the household refrigerating appliance.

(2)

The annual energy consumption (AE_C) is calculated in kWh/year and rounded to two decimal places, as:

AE_C = E_24h × 365

where:

E_24h

is the energy consumption of the household refrigerating appliance in kWh/24h and rounded to three decimal places.

(3)

The standard annual energy consumption (SAE_C ) is calculated in kWh/year and rounded to two decimal places, as:

SAE_C = V_eq × M + N + CH

where:

• V_eq is the equivalent volume of the household refrigerating appliance

• CH is equal to 50 kWh/year for household refrigerating appliances with a chill compartment with a storage volume of at least 15 litres

• the M and N values are given in Table 7 for each household refrigerating appliance category.

Table 7
M and N values by household refrigerating appliance category
a Note: for Category 10 household refrigerating appliances the M and N values depend on the temperature and star rating of the compartment with the lowest storage temperature capable of being set by the end-user and maintained continuously according to the manufacturer's instructions. When only an ‘other compartment’ as defined in Table 2 and Annex I, point (n), is present, the M and N values for Category 1 are used. Appliances with three-star compartments or food-freezer compartments are considered to be refrigerator-freezers.
Category	M	N
1	0,233	245
2	0,233	245
3	0,233	245
4	0,643	191
5	0,45	245
