Article 7 U.K. Review

The Commission shall review this Regulation in the light of technological progress and present the results of that review to the Consultation Forum no later than five years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. The review shall include the following:

1.

for professional refrigerated storage cabinets, an assessment of the appropriateness of introducing, in particular:

(a)

ecodesign requirements for cabinets listed in Article 1(1);

(b)

stricter requirements for heavy-duty cabinets;

(c)

information requirement on a professional refrigerated storage cabinet's capacity to cool down foodstuffs;

(d)

a method for determining the standard annual energy consumption for refrigerator-freezers;

(e)

a revised method for the standard annual energy consumption of counter cabinets;

2.

for blast cabinets, an assessment of the appropriateness of introducing ecodesign requirements for these products;

3.

for walk-in cold rooms, an assessment of the appropriateness of introducing ecodesign requirements for these products;

4.

for condensing units and process chillers:

(a)

an assessment of the appropriateness of setting ecodesign requirements covering direct greenhouse gas emissions related to refrigerants;

(b)

an assessment of the appropriateness of setting ecodesign requirements for condensing units with a rated cooling capacity lower than 0,1 kW at low temperature and 0,2 kW at medium temperature and condensing units with a rated cooling capacity higher than 20 kW at low temperature and 50 kW at medium temperature;

(c)

an assessment of the appropriateness of setting ecodesign requirements for condensing units sold with an evaporator, compressor packs and racks which do not include a condenser, and condensing units which do not use air as heat transfer medium for the condenser;

(d)

an assessment of the appropriateness of setting ecodesign requirements for process chillers using evaporative condensing and process chillers using absorption technology;

5.

for all products, a check if newer versions of quoted sources are available for GWP values;

6.

for all products, the value of the admitted tolerances in the verification procedure for the measured value of the energy consumption.
