Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2018Show full title

(1)

‘beverage cooler’ means a refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function designed to cool, at a specified speed, packaged non-perishable beverages, excluding wine, loaded at ambient temperature, for sale at specified temperatures below the ambient temperature. A beverage cooler allows accessing the beverages directly through open sides or through one or more doors, drawers or both. The temperature inside the cooler may increase during periods of no demand, for the purpose of energy saving, in view of the non-perishable nature of beverages;

(2)

‘ice-cream freezer’ means a horizontal closed cabinet intended to store and/or display and sell pre-packed ice cream, where access by the consumer to the pre-packed ice-cream is achieved by opening a non-transparent or transparent lid from the top, with a net volume ≤ 600 litres (L) and, only in the case of transparent lid ice-cream freezers, a net volume divided by the TDA ≥ 0,35 meters (m);

(3)

‘transparent lid’ means a door made of a transparent material that covers at least 75 % of the door surface and that allows the end-user to clearly see items through it;

(4)

‘total display area (TDA)’ means the total visible foodstuffs and other items area, including visible area through glazing, defined by the sum of horizontal and vertical projected surface areas of the net volume, expressed in square meters (m²);

(5)

‘quick response’ (QR) code means a matrix barcode included on the energy label of a product model that links to that model’s information in the public part of the product database;

(6)

‘annual energy consumption’ (AE) means the average daily energy consumption multiplied by 365 (days per year) expressed in kilowatt hour per year (kWh/a), calculated in accordance with point 2(b) of Annex IV;

(7)

‘daily energy consumption’ (E_daily ) means the energy used by a refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function over 24 hours at reference conditions, expressed in kilowatt hour per day (kWh/24h);

(8)

‘standard annual energy consumption’ (SAE) means the reference annual energy consumption of a refrigeration appliance with a direct sales function, expressed in kilowatt hour per year (kWh/a), calculated in accordance with point 2(c) of Annex IV;

(9)

‘M’ and ‘N’ means modelling parameters that take into account the total display area or volume-dependence of the energy use, with values as set out in Table 3, Annex IV;

(10)

‘temperature coefficient’ (C) means a correction factor that accounts for the difference in operating temperature;

(11)

‘climate class factor’ (CC) means a correction factor that accounts for the difference in ambient conditions for which the refrigerating appliance is designed for;

(12)

‘P’ means a correction factor that accounts for the differences between integral and remote cabinets;

(13)

‘integral cabinet’ means a refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function that has an integral refrigeration system which incorporates a compressor and condensing unit;

(14)

‘gelato-scooping cabinet’ means a refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function in which ice-cream can be stored, displayed and scooped, within prescribed temperature limits as set out in Annex IV, Table 4;

(15)

‘vertical cabinet’ means a refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function with a vertical or inclined display opening;

(16)

‘semi- vertical cabinet’ means a vertical cabinet with a vertical or inclined display opening whose overall height does not exceed 1,5 meters (m);

(17)

‘combined cabinet’ means a refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function which combines display and opening directions from a vertical and a horizontal cabinet;

(18)

‘supermarket cabinet’ means a refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function intended for the sale and display of foodstuffs and other items in retail applications, such as in supermarkets. Beverage coolers, refrigerated vending machines, gelato-scooping cabinets and ice-cream freezers are not considered supermarket cabinets;

(19)

‘refrigerator’ means a refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function that continuously maintains the temperature of the products stored in the cabinet at chilled operating temperature;

(20)

‘freezer’ means a refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function that continuously maintains the temperature of the products stored in the cabinet at frozen operating temperature;

(21)

‘roll-in cabinet’ means a supermarket cabinet which enables goods to be displayed directly on their pallets or rolls which can be placed inside by lifting, swinging, or removing the lower front part, where fitted;

(22)

‘M-package’ means a test package fitted with a temperature measuring device;

(23)

‘multi-temperature vending machine’ means a refrigerated vending machine including at least two compartments with different operating temperatures;

(24)

‘display mechanism’ means any screen, including tactile screen, or other visual technology used for displaying internet content to users;

(25)

‘tactile screen’ means a screen responding to touch, such as that of a tablet computer, slate computer or a smartphone;

(26)

‘nested display’ means a visual interface where an image or data set is accessed by a mouse click, mouse roll-over or tactile screen expansion of another image or data set;

(27)

‘alternative text’ means text provided as an alternative to a graphic allowing information to be presented in non- graphical form where display devices cannot render the graphic or as an aid to accessibility such as input to voice synthesis applications.
