Specifies the energy labelling requirements for single-phase ducted and non-ducted airconditioners of the vapour compression type intended for household and similar use. The Standard also specifies minimum energy performance standard (MEPS) requirements for three-phase ducted and non-ducted airconditioners of the vapour compression type intended for household, commercial and similar use, up to a rated cooling capacity of 65 kW. It does not cover multi-split systems or evaporative airconditioners. This Standard does not specify electrical safety requirements.

This Standard specifies the energy labelling requirements for single-phase ducted and non-ducted airconditioners of the vapour compression type for household use. The Standard also specifies minimum energy performance standard (MEPS) requirements for three-phase ducted and non-ducted airconditioners of the vapour compression type up to a rated cooling capacity of 65 kW and that fall within the scope of AS/NZS 3823.1.1 or AS/NZS 3823.1.2. It does not cover multi-split systems or evaporative airconditioners. This Standard does not specify electrical safety requirements.NOTE: The energy labelling of single phase multi-split systems and the specification of MEPS for three phase multi-split 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 airconditioner appliance energy labels.(l) Minimum energy performance standard requirements.
