SECTION 2 CALCULATIONS FOR THE ENERGY LABEL
2.1 SCOPE
2.2 GENERAL
2.3 NUMBER OF TESTS AND PROCESSING OF DATA
2.3.1 Number of units required

2.5.1 General
2.5.2 SRI cooling
2.5.3 SRI heating
2.6 STAR RATING
2.7 EXAMPLE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY CALCULATIONS
NOTE: For a complete example of calculations carried out on a typical set of test results refer to Appendix A.
2.8 ENERGY LABEL VALIDITY
SECTION 3 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
3.1 GENERAL
NOTE: Where a system has more than one power supply (e.g. a split system), the whole system is considered to be three phase for the purposes of this Standard where at least one of the power supply systems are three phase.
3.2 MAXIMUM COOLING TEST
3.3 MINIMUM ENERGY PERFORMANCE STANDARD
3.4 TEST CONDITIONS FOR DETERMINING MINIMUM ENERGY PERFORMANCE STANDARD OF THREE PHASE APPLIANCES
3.5 NUMBER OF TESTS AND PROCESSING OF DATA
3.6 MINIMUM ENERGY PERFORMANCE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS COMPLIANCE
NOTE: An example of airconditioner assessment for MEPS is provided in Appendix A.
3.7 CHECK TESTING
NOTE: Simulation models provide an estimate of system optimum performance under idealized operating conditions. Modelling may not take into account variables introduced in the physical manufacture of a system, variables such as airflow across the coi...
