ANNEX IX

Product compliance verification by market surveillance authorities

The verification tolerances set out in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member State authorities and shall not be used by the supplier as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation. The values and classes on the label or in the product fiche shall not be more favourable for the supplier than the values reported in the technical documentation.

When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Delegated Regulation, for the requirements referred to in this Annex, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure:

• (1) The Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.

• (2) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:
• (a) the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to Article 5(b) of Directive 2010/30/EU (declared values), and, where applicable, the values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the supplier than the corresponding values given in the test reports pursuant to point (iii) of the abovementioned Article; and
• (b) the values published on the label and in the product fiche are not more favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the indicated energy efficiency class is not more favourable for the supplier than the class determined by the declared values; and
• (c) when the Member State authorities test the unit of the model, the determined values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 9.

• (3) If the results referred to in points 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model and all other equivalent water heater models, hot water storage tanks models, solar device models or package of water heater and solar device models shall be considered not to comply with this Delegated Regulation.

• (4) If the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select three additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the three additional units selected may be of one or more different equivalent models.

• (5) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if for these three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the respective tolerances given in Table 9.

• (6) If the result referred to in point 5 is not achieved, the model and all other equivalent water heater models, hot water storage tanks models, solar device models or package of water heater and solar device models shall be considered not to comply with this Delegated Regulation.

• (1)For the purpose of points 2 to 5 of this Annex the following definitions shall apply:

• (a) ‘display mechanism’ means any screen, including tactile screen, or other visual technology used for displaying internet content to users;

• (b) ‘nested display’ means visual interface where an image or data set is accessed by a mouse click, mouse roll-over or tactile screen expansion of another image or data set;

• (c) ‘tactile screen’ means a screen responding to touch, such as that of a tablet computer, slate computer or a smartphone;

• (d) ‘alternative text’ means text provided as an alternative to a graphic allowing information to be presented in non-graphical form where display devices cannot render the graphic or as an aid to accessibility such as input to voice synthesis applications.

• (2)The appropriate label made available by suppliers in accordance with Article 3 or in the case of a package where appropriate duly filled in based on the label and fiches provided by suppliers in accordance with Article 3, shall be shown on the display mechanism in proximity to the price of the product or package in accordance with the timetable set out in Article 3. If both a product and a package are shown, but with a price indicated only for the package, only the package label shall be displayed. The size shall be such that the label is clearly visible and legible and shall be proportionate to the size specified in Annex III. The label may be displayed using a nested display, in which case the image used for accessing the label shall comply with the specifications laid down in point 3 of this Annex. If nested display is applied, the label shall appear on the first mouse click, mouse roll-over or tactile screen expansion on the image.

• (3)The image used for accessing the label in the case of nested display shall:

• (a) be an arrow in the colour corresponding to the energy efficiency class of the product or package on the label;

• (b) indicate on the arrow the energy efficiency class of the product or package in white in a font size equivalent to that of the price; and

• (c) have one of the following two formats: Image omitted; see official source

• (4)In the case of nested display, the sequence of display of the label shall be as follows:

• (a) the image referred to in point 3 of this Annex shall be shown on the display mechanism in proximity to the price of the product or package;

• (b) the image shall link to the label;

• (c) the label shall be displayed after a mouse click, mouse roll-over or tactile screen expansion on the image;

• (d) the label shall be displayed by pop up, new tab, new page or inset screen display;

• (e) for magnification of the label on tactile screens, the device conventions for tactile magnification shall apply;

• (f) the label shall cease to be displayed by means of a close option or other standard closing mechanism;

• (g) the alternative text for the graphic, to be displayed on failure to display the label, shall be the energy efficiency class of the product or package in a font size equivalent to that of the price.

• (5)The appropriate product fiche made available by suppliers in accordance with Article 3 shall be shown on the display mechanism in proximity to the price of the product or package. The size shall be such that the product fiche is clearly visible and legible.
