Specifies the energy labellingy requirements for non-ducted room airconditioners of the vapour compression type intended for household and similar use, up to a rated cooling capacity of 7.5 kw. It covers only those units with a single refrigeration circuit with one evaporator and one condenser such as unitary systems (window/wall) and single split systems. It does not cover multiple split systems, ducted systems or evaporative coolers. This Standard does not specify electical safety requirements.

This Standard specifies the energy labelling requirements for non-ducted room airconditioners of the vapour compression type intended for household and similar use, up to a rated cooling capacity of 7.5 kW. It covers only those units with a single refrigeration circuit with one evaporator and one condenser such as unitary systems (window/wall) and single split systems. It does not cover multi-split systems, ducted systems or evaporative coolers. This Standard does not specify electrical safety requirements.NOTE:The energy labelling of all single phase systems including non-ducted, multi-split and ducted systems is under consideration.This Standard specifies the following values for cooling and heating, as applicable:(a) Rated power.(b) Rated capacity.(c) Energy efficiency ratio (EER) for cooling. (d) Coefficient of performance (COP) for heating. (e) Comparative energy consumption (CEC).(f) Star Rating Index (SRI).(g) Star rating.(h) Some of the requirements for energy label validity.(i) The performance criteria for energy labelling validity.(j) Test report format.(k) Printing requirements for room airconditioner appliance energy labels.
