{b) where there is more than one such test report in respect of the registrable goods or registered goods, as the case may be, the test report that is the most recent.

PART2

REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRABLE GOODS

For the purposes of section 6, the requirements that apply to registrable goods shall -

fa) be registered under regulation 4;

{b) comply with the minimum energy efficiency standards under regulation 5; and

{c) be labelled with an energy label in accordance with regulation 6.

For the purposes of section 15(1), the minimum energy efficiency standards relating to any registered goods are specified in Schedule 4.

1890

(1 I Every energy label shall -

{a} be of the dimensions as shown in Schedule 1 or be proportionately larger;

{b) be of the shape, colour and contain text that is of the typeface Aria!

as shown in Schedule 1, legible and in the English language only;

{c) contain information that is consistent with or drawn from the relevant test report;

{d) be printed in an indelible manner and with a minimum resolution of 300 pixels per inch; and

{e) be made of such material as the Authority may approve.

(21 The number of stars and energy efficiency rating to be shown on the energy label are specified in paragraph 1 of Schedule 2.

(31 Every energy label shall be affixed in accordance with regulation 7.

(1 I Every registered supplier of any registrable goods shall affix an energy label in the manner specified in sub-regulation (21 in a manner or permitted or directed by the Authority under sub-regulation (31 -

{a} after the certificate of registration has been issued by the Authority in respect of such goods; and

( 1) Where any registered goods are modified in any way by the manufacturer of those registered goods, the registered supplier shall -

fa} notify the Authority in writing of the modification to the registered goods;

{b) where the modification alters the energy efficiency of the registered goods, submit to the Authority a test report showing the energy 1892

efficiency of such goods, as modified, and such other information as the

Authority may require; and

fa} For non-inverter ACs, the performance is based on full-load

COP values (COPwo%);

fb} For inverter ACs, the performance is based on the weighted COP values, calculated via the following formula: COPweighted -

(40% of

COPtoo%) + (60% of COPso%).

In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires -

1895

"Coefficient of Performance" or "COP" means the ratio of the total cooling capacity expressed in Watts to the total effective input power expressed in

Watts, as specified in the test report;

"Weighted COP" means the sum of 0.4 x COP at full-load cooling capacity and 0.6 x COP at part-load cooling capacity.
