ANNEX IV

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 manufacturer, importer or authorised representative as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation or in interpreting those values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means. Where a model is not in conformity with the requirements laid down in Article 6 of this Regulation, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not compliant. As part of verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Regulation pursuant to Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure for the requirements referred to in Annex II: The Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model pursuant to points 2(a), (b), (c) and (d), except for the requirement referred to in point 1.2.1 of parts A and B of Annex II (resistance to accidental drops), where the test shall be performed with five units of the model pursuant to point 2 (e), and except for the requirement referred to in point 1.2.4 of part A and B and point 1.2.3 of part D of Annex II (battery endurance in cycles), where the test shall be performed with five units of the model pursuant to point 2 (f). The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements where all of the following conditions are fulfilled: the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to Annex IV, point 2, to Directive 2009/125/EC (declared values), and, where applicable, the values used to calculate those values, are not more favourable for the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative than the results of the corresponding measurements carried out pursuant to point (g) thereof; the declared values meet any requirements laid down in this Regulation, and any required product information published by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative does not contain values that are more favourable for the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative than the declared values; when the Member State authorities check the unit of the model, it complies with the requirements, except for the requirements for which points (d), (e) and (f) apply; 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 set out in Table 4; when the Member State authorities test five units of the model, the determined values (that is the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from those measurements) comply with the respective pass rate as given in Table 5; when the Member State authorities test the five units of the model, the arithmetic mean of the determined values (that is the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements) complies with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 4. If the results referred to in point 2(a), (b), (c) or (f) are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. If the result referred to in point 2(d) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select three additional units of the same model for testing. If the result referred to in point 2(e) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select five additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the additional units selected may be of one or more equivalent models. The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, for these units tested pursuant to point 4, where applicable, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the respective verification tolerances set out in Table 4. The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if for these five units tested pursuant to point 5, where applicable, the pass rate complies with the respective values given in Table 5. If the results referred to in point 6 or 7 are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay once a decision has been taken on the non-compliance of the model according to point 3 or 8 or according to the second paragraph of this Annex. The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex III. The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 4 and shall use only the procedure described in the third paragraph for the requirements set out in this Annex. For the parameters in Table 4, no other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied. Table 4 Verification tolerances Parameters | Verification tolerances networked standby power consumption [W] and standby power consumption [W] | The determined value (1) shall not be more than 0,10 W higher than the declared value. battery endurance in cycles – default settings [cycles] | The determined value (1) shall not be more than 20 cycles lower than the declared value. rated battery capacity (Crated [mAh]) | The determined value (1) shall not be more than 10% higher than the declared value. remaining battery capacity (%) | The determined value (1) shall not be more than 2% points lower than the declared value. ingress protection rating (IPxx) | To be verified according to the standard referred to under Annex IIIa for this parameter. protection from accidental spills | To be verified according to the standard referred to under Annex IIIa for this parameter. Table 5 Pass rates for resistance to accidental drops Parameters | Pass rate tolerances resistance to accidental drops | The determined value corresponding to the declared value shall be met by at least 80 % of the tested units.
