For the purposes of checking conformity with the requirements laid down in Annex II, Member State authorities shall test a single RVU. If the measured values or values calculated on the basis of measured values do not match the manufacturer's declared values within the meaning of Article 3, subject to the tolerances in Table 1, measurements shall be carried out on three other units.
If the arithmetic mean of the measured values for these units does not meet the requirements, subject to the tolerances in Table 1, the model and all other equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with the requirements of Annex II.
The Member State authorities shall provide the test results and other relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission within one month of the decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model.
Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods in Annex VIII.
| Parameter | Verification tolerances |
|---|---|
| SPI | The measured value shall be no more than 1,07 times the maximum declared value. |
| Thermal efficiency RVU | The measured value shall be no less than 0,93 times the minimum declared value. |
| Sound power level | The measured value shall be no more than the maximum declared value plus 2 dB. |
The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member State authorities and shall not be used by the supplier as an allowed tolerance to establish values in the technical documentation. The values and classes on the label or in the (electronic) product fiche shall not be more favourable for the supplier than the values reported in the technical documentation.
