Description of content: The notified Regulation seeks to establish the minimum seasonal
energy efficiency ratio (SEER), test methods, conformity assessment procedure
and labelling requirements for split-type, free-flow, ductless inverter air
conditioners with variable refrigerant flow, which are manufactured, imported
or marketed in the States Parties.
The Regulation applies to split-type, free-flow,
ductless inverter air conditioners with variable refrigerant flow, powered by
electricity, with nominal cooling capacities of up to 19,050W (65,000 BTU),
which operate by mechanical compression and include an air-cooling evaporator
coil, a frequency compressor with variable refrigerant flow and an air-cooled
condensing coil, and which are manufactured, imported or marketed in the
States Parties.
The following devices are excluded from the
scope of this Technical Regulation:
1.
Water-source heat and cooling-only
pumps
2.
Units designed for use with
additional ducting
3.
Mobile units (not window-type)
with a condenser exhaust duct
4.
Multi-split units with a
frequency compressor and variable refrigerant flow
5.
Floor/ceiling units that
exceed the limit of 19,050W (65,000 BTU)
6.
Household goods
7.
Samples of no commercial
value, depending on each State Party's procedure
