EU No 626/2011 - labelling for ACs

Source: International Energy Agency
Last updated: 22 July 2020

This Regulation establishes requirements for the labelling and the provision of supplementary product information for electric mains-operated air conditioners with a rated capacity of = 12 kW for cooling, or heating, if the product has no cooling function. It shall not apply to:



a) appliances that use non-electric energy sources;



b) air conditioners of which the condensor- or evaporator-side, or both, do not use air for heat transfer medium.



 



This Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2013, thus repealing Directive 2002/31/EC from this date.



 



Energy efficiency classes for air conditioners, except double ducts and single ducts:




  • A+++: SEER = 8,50; SCOP = 5,10

  • A++: 6,10 = SEER < 8,50; 4,60 = SCOP < 5,10

  • A+: 5,60 = SEER < 6,10; 4,00 = SCOP < 4,60

  • A: 5,10 = SEER < 5,60; 3,40 = SCOP < 4,00

  • B: 4,60 = SEER < 5,10; 3,10 = SCOP < 3,40

  • C: 4,10 = SEER < 4,60; 2,80 = SCOP < 3,10

  • D: 3,60 = SEER < 4,10; 2,50 = SCOP < 2,80

  • E: 3,10 = SEER < 3,60; 2,20 = SCOP < 2,50

  • F: 2,60 = SEER < 3,10; 1,90 = SCOP < 2,20

  • G: SEER < 2,60; SCOP < 1,90



Energy efficiency classes for double ducts:




  • A+++: EER = 4,10; COP = 4,60

  • A++: 3,60 = EER < 4,10; 4,10 = COP < 4,60

  • A+: 3,10 = EER < 3,60; 3,60 = COP < 4,10

  • A: 2,60 = EER < 3,10; 3,10 = COP < 3,60

  • B: 2,40 = EER < 2,60; 2,60 = COP < 3,10

  • C: 2,10 = EER < 2,40; 2,40 = COP < 2,60

  • D: 1,80 = EER < 2,10; 2,00 = COP < 2,40

  • E: 1,60 = EER < 1,80; 1,80 = COP < 2,00

  • F: 1,40 = EER < 1,60; 1,60 = COP < 1,80

  • G: EER < 1,40; COP < 1,60



Energy efficiency classes for single ducts:




  • A+++: EER = 4,10; COP = 3,60

  • A++: 3,60 = EER < 4,10; 3,10 = COP < 3,60

  • A+: 3,10 = EER < 3,60; 2,60 = COP < 3,10

  • A: 2,60 = EER < 3,10; 2,30 = COP < 2,60

  • B: 2,40 = EER < 2,60; 2,00 = COP < 2,30

  • C: 2,10 = EER < 2,40; 1,80 = COP < 2,00

  • D: 1,80 = EER < 2,10; 1,60 = COP < 1,80

  • E: 1,60 = EER < 1,80; 1,40 = COP < 1,60

  • F: 1,40 = EER < 1,60; 1,20 = COP < 1,40



G: EER < 1,40; COP < 1,20
