# COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/2016 of 11 March 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of refrigerating appliances and repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1060/2010 (Text with EEA relevance)

(41) ‘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;

(42) ‘declared values’ means the values provided by the supplier for the stated, calculated or measured technical parameters, pursuant to Article 3(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 and in accordance with Article 3(1)(d) and Annex VI of this Regulation, for the verification of compliance by the Member State authorities.

Where a parameter is declared pursuant to Article 3(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 and in accordance with Table 7 of Annex VI, its declared value shall be used by the supplier for the calculations in this Annex.

(h) the freezing capacity of a compartment is calculated as 24 times the light load weight of that compartment, divided by the freezing time to bring the temperature of the light load from +25 to – 18 °C at an ambient temperature of 25 °C expressed in kg/24h and rounded to one decimal place;

(i) for 4-star compartments, the freezing time to bring the temperature of the light load from +25 to – 18 °C at an ambient temperature of 25 °C shall be such that the resulting freezing capacity complies with the requirement in Annex I, point 4;

(4) the tropical (T) has a temperature range from 16 °C to 43 °C;

(k) the light load weight for each 4-star compartment shall be:

— 3,5 kg/100 l of the volume of the 4-star compartment evaluated, rounded up to the nearest 0,5 kg, and

— 2 kg for a 4-star compartment with a volume for which 3,5 kg/100 l leads to a value lower than 2 kg;

in the case that the refrigerating appliance includes a combination of 3- and 4-star compartments, the sum of the light load weights shall be increased so that the sum of the light load weights for all the 4-star compartments shall be:

— 3,5 kg/100 l of the total volume of all 4- and 3-star compartments, rounded up to the nearest 0,5 kg, and

— 2 kg for a total volume of all 4- and 3-star compartments for which 3,5 kg/100 l leads to a value lower than 2 kg.

The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification by Member State authorities of the declared values and shall not be used by the supplier as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation or in interpreting these values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means. The values and classes published on the label or in the product information sheet shall not be more favourable for the supplier than the values declared in the technical documentation.

As part of verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Regulation, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure:

(7) The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a decision is taken on the non-compliance of the model according to points 3, 6 or the second paragraph of this Annex.

| Total volume and compartment volume | The determined value () shall not be more than 3 % or 1 litre lower – whichever is the greater value – than the declared value. |

| *E32* | The determined value () shall not be more than 10 % higher than the declared value. |

| Internal humidity of wine storage appliances (%) | The determined value () shall not differ from the declared range by more than 10 %. |

| Temperature rise time | The determined value () shall not be more than 15 % lower than the declared value. |

| (¹) In the case of three additional units tested as prescribed in point 4, the determined value means the arithmetical mean of the values determined for these three additional units. | |
