ANNEX IX Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes for professional refrigerated storage cabinets
When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, the authorities of Member States shall apply the following verification procedure for the requirements set out in Annex II:
The Member State authorities shall test one single unit per model.
The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex II where:
the declared values comply with the requirements set out in Annex II;
the measured volume is not lower than the rated value by more than 3 %;
the measured value of energy consumption is not greater than the rated value (E24h) by more than 10 %.
Where the result referred to in point 2 is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall randomly select three additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the three additional units selected may be of one or more different models which have been listed as equivalent product in the technical documentation.
The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex II where:
the average of the three units for the measured volume is not lower than the rated value by more than 3 %;
the average of the three units for the measured value of energy consumption is not greater than the rated value (E24h) by more than 10 %.
If the results referred to in point 4 are not achieved, the model and all other equivalent professional refrigerated storage cabinet models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. The Member State authorities shall provide the test results and other relevant information to the authorities of 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 set out in Annexes III and IV.
The verification tolerances set out 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 the values in the technical documentation. The values and classes on the label or in the product fiche shall not be more favourable for the supplier than the values reported in the technical documentation.
