(b)

measurements shall be carried out using a 24-hour measurement cycle as follows:

• 00:00 to 06:59: no water draw-off;

• from end of last water draw-off until 24:00: no water draw-off;

(c)

the declared load profile shall be the maximum load profile or the load profile one below the maximum load profile;

(d)

for heat pump combination heaters, the following additional conditions apply:

• heat pump combination heaters shall be tested under the conditions set out in Table 9;

• heat pump combination heaters which use ventilation exhaust air as the heat source shall be tested under the conditions set out in Table 11;

(e)

the annual electricity consumption AEC in kWh in terms of final energy shall be calculated as daily electricity consumption Q_elec in kWh in terms of final energy multiplied by 220;

(f)

the annual fuel consumption AFC in GJ in terms of GCV shall be calculated as daily fuel consumption Q_fuel multiplied by 220.

6. Conditions for measurements and calculations of solar devices U.K.

The solar collector, solar hot water storage tank and pump in the collector loop (if applicable) shall be tested separately. Where the solar collector and solar hot water storage tank cannot be tested separately, they shall be tested in combination.

The results shall be used for the determination of the standing loss S and the calculations of the collector efficiency η_col , the annual non-solar heat contribution Q_nonsol for the load profiles M, L, XL and XXL under the average climate conditions set out in Tables 13 and 14, and the annual auxiliary electricity consumption Q_aux in kWh in terms of final energy.
