EU Market Access and Conformity Assessment Requirements - Air Conditioning

Time：

2022-09-23

According to the EU 2014/35/EU "Low-Voltage (LVD) Directive for Electrical Equipment Designed for Use within Certain Voltage Limits", if it is applicable to household electrical appliances designed for use with voltages of 50V to 1000V AC and 75V to 1500V DC It must meet the requirements of the relevant directives promulgated by the EU, and affix the CE mark and labels or marks required by specific directives before entering the EU market for sale. Directives involved in air-conditioning products: LVD directive, MD directive, ErP directive, RED directive (wifi module)

EU Entry Requirements

Directives involved in air-conditioning products: LVD directive, MD directive, ErP directive, RED directive (wifi module)

EU Energy Efficiency Requirements Introduction

The EU's energy efficiency regulations for air-conditioning products include two parts: energy efficiency label design and eco-design requirements:

For air-conditioning products, (EU) No.626 specifies energy efficiency labelling requirements and (EU) No.206 specifies eco-design requirements

The Energy Efficiency Labeling Regulation mainly specifies the energy efficiency class and the style of the energy efficiency label, while the Ecodesign Directive contains the minimum requirements for indicators such as energy efficiency and noise.

The testing standards for EU air-conditioning products need to be tested in accordance with EN 14511 and EN 14825. For the cooling mode, the product will be tested at four load points (100%, 74%, 47%, 21%); for the heating mode, the climate type and other conditions need to be selected according to the needs, and then the test is carried out according to the corresponding working conditions , For example, if you choose a type A (average) climate, you need to be at 88%, 54%, 35%, 15% of the four load points, as well as the lowest temperature TOL that the machine can run and the temperature Tbiv when the machine is running at maximum load. The load corresponding to the two temperature points is tested.

Information required for air conditioner to do EU certification

● Energy efficiency: energy efficiency test report, design energy efficiency label according to regulatory requirements, registration information

● Safety: LVD or MD test report + certificate

● EMC: EMC Directive Test Report

Introduction to the EU certification application process

Step 1 Fill in the application form and other relevant application documents

Step 2 Evaluate the documents and determine the feasible implementation options and applicable standards under the plan

Step 3 Send samples to the laboratory to issue various instruction test reports and energy efficiency test reports and issue certificates

Step 4 Use the energy efficiency report to contact the local EU manufacturer for registration

EU Energy Efficiency Label Template（Different types of product label templates will be different）

The energy efficiency label of EU air conditioner products must contain the following elements

Element 1) Energy efficiency label border

Element 2) EU logo

Element 3) Energy efficiency label header

Element 4) Mark the secondary boundary

Element 5) SEER and SCOP indication

Element 6) Each energy efficiency class

Element 7) Energy efficiency class labeling

Element 8) ENERGY

Element 9) Rated cooling or heating capacity

Element 10) SEER and SCOP values to one decimal place

Element 11) Annual electricity consumption kWh/annum

Element 12) Noise

Element 13) EU temperature map and color zones

Element 14) Supplier Information

Element 15) Supplier Model Identification

Element 16) Regulations corresponding to the label and its chronology
