The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information Regulations 2021

Where a model has been designed to be able to detect it is being tested (for example by recognising test conditions or test cycles), and to react specifically by automatically altering its performance during the test with the objective of reaching a more favourable level for any of the parameters specified in these Regulations or included in the technical documentation or included in any of the documentation provided, the model and all equivalent models do not conform to these Regulations.

Verification tolerances

5

• (1) The verification tolerances set out in Table 37 must be used only by the market surveillance authority and only for the purposes of this Schedule.

• (2) The supplier of a product must not use the verification tolerances—

• (a) as allowed tolerances to establish the declared values;

• (b) in order to interpret the declared values with a view to achieving compliance; or

• (c) to communicate better performance.
