All characteristics shall be expressed in SI Units. Capacities shall be expressed with 2 decimals, water pressure drops with 1 decimal and control voltages with 2 decimals.Integers shall be used for fan power inputs, sound power levels, air flow rates, external static pressures and rotation speeds. Declared sound power levels (SPL) shall be be equal or higher than 29 dB(A). Lower SPL cannot be measured due to background noise.


of 28

b. Certification Forms

The Applicant/Participant shall send Eurovent Certita Certification the declaration by e-mail; the forms shall be attached as .xlsx files, and shall commit that all the declared products are within the scope.

It is optional to fill the performances at application (non-standard) rating conditions in the declaration list whereas it is mandatory in the Technical Data Sheet for the selected units.

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM): Form FC-1 for Fan Coil Units shall be used.

Brand Name (BN) Companies: Column “Master product number” in Form FC-1 (see Appendix B) shall be used to identify the corresponding model number of the Original Equipment Manufacturer.

Technical Data Sheet: For each model selected for test, Form FC-2 (see Appendix B) shall be completed with the technical description of all components along with the declared data.

Reporting of test result: For models tested, Form FC-3 (see Appendix B) shall be sent by Eurovent Certita Certification, showing the deviations between claimed and measured data.

Response form after failure: For models which failed the test, Form FC-4 (see Appendix B) shall be sent by Eurovent Certita Certification, showing the list of products affected by the failed test.

c. Reporting of Models

In reporting models for certification and for publication on our website, certified ratings shall be given for all Fan Coil Units which meet the requirements of relevant Rating Standards.

Optional devices or accessories which are employed in obtaining the ratings of the basic unit assembly, and which affect the ratings, shall be included in the certification data. All such components, e.g. plenums, air deflectors, must be specified by the use of the “+” symbol and footnotes on our website and must be identified in forms provided, as applicable.

Systems having coils with both horizontal and vertical orientation, when ratings are different, shall be certified to reflect the capacity and efficiency ratings for both positions.

Besides current models, the Participants shall provide Eurovent Certita Certification with the list of (see Certification Manual):

• models under development,

• new models,

• deleted models,

• obsolete models.

Modifications of values on previously selected units or previously re-rated units or ranges are not allowed. Modifications on not yet tested models have to be justified by the Participant. In this case Eurovent Certita Certification will check the consistency of the new data and is not obliged to accept them. In case of upgrade of performances the concerned units will be selected for test in priority.


of 28

Detailed procedure regarding the update of lists is provided in the Certification Manual Appendix D.

d. Basic model group

Each Applicant/Participant's declaration list will be grouped by basic models. The basic models shall be defined by units which are essentially the same in terms of thermal performance and function and the same or comparable in terms of basic components, specifically fans, coils and motors.

Special basic models, called twins, are those which use the same components except the fan motor: one twin uses a multi-speed (fixed) fan motor; the other twin uses a variable speed fan motor.

60 Hz models can be declared as twins of 50 Hz models.

IV.2 Selection of units to be tested

Within the programme, tests may be conducted under the following procedures:

• Scheduled test in qualifying procedure

• Scheduled test in repetition procedure

• Penalty test

• Complaint test

For the penalty tests, Eurovent Certita Certification shall select the additional units from the failed range if applicable. If not, units for penalty tests will be selected from another range. The range is defined as the group of products that Manufacturer is promoting under the same family name.

a. Number of units to be tested

For the qualifying and the repetition procedure, the actual number of units to be tested each year per Manufacturer shall be established on the following basis: the number will be proportional to the number of the declared basic models (including both non-ducted and ducted units), in an amount equal to 17% with a minimum of one unit.

Eq. 1 Number of selected units = Maximum (1 ; Integer part of (17% BMG + 0,5)) The number of non-ducted and ducted units selected for test will be proportional to the number of models listed as non-ducted and ducted respectively. The number of units to be tested can be reduced if the Mean Value of Failure is lower than a threshold (see APPENDIX D).

b. Selection procedure

Eurovent Certita Certification shall select the models to be tested and shall notify the Manufacturer of the intent to test selected models in accordance with the requirements of this programme. This notification shall request the delivery of the units, submittal form FC-3 and the payment order.

The selected models shall be divided in two categories with two different deadlines for the delivery in order to reduce the storage duration in the laboratories.

Before delivering units each Manufacturer shall provide Eurovent Certita Certification the serial number of each selected reference.


of 28

The provided serial numbers shall be displayed on the corresponding delivered units to be accepted by the laboratory.

c. Acquisition of unit

Deadlines for delivery of units to the laboratory together with the technical form completed and the order is given in the Certification Schedule (see APPENDIX A).

If units, technical form and payment order are not delivered within the time limitations specified in the notification received from Eurovent Certita Certification, it is considered as non-respect of procedures (see IV.6).

Units shall be delivered DDP (Duty Delivered Paid) to the laboratories.

IV.3 Tests at the Laboratory

a. General

Tests shall be performed at the Independent Laboratory selected by Eurovent Certita Certification. The Laboratory shall have the responsibility of un-crating, handling, testing and re-crating the unit for shipment. The laboratories shall follow as possible the following requirements.

Units shall be installed in the test facility in accordance with the Manufacturer's published installation instructions.

The Manufacturer will provide the laboratory with full information about the installation.

The Independant Laboratory personnel shall install and check out test units. The procedures used shall be in accordance with the Manufacturer's installation start-up and service instructions. No Manufacture's personnel shall be permitted in the Laboratory test facility during the first unit test. Manufactures may review test results after the first unit test and the test set-up prior to the second unit test.

Laboratory personnel shall be allowed to make only the following corrections to the test sample prior to the test:

• Repair leaks

• Repair or replace items damaged by shipping or handling

• Assure correct fan speed(s) where adjustable speed fans are used

If the unit is not repairable, it shall be replaced by the Manufacturer within four weeks from the notification.

If the test establishes a failure of the unit to meet one or more of the requirements of the relevant Rating Standard, the Laboratory shall promptly notify Eurovent Certita Certification and the Manufacturer regarding any further actions decided together by Eurovent Certita Certification and the Manufacturer.

b. Report of Tests Results

Upon completion of the tests on each unit, the Laboratory will render its complete report, as a pdf file to Eurovent Certita Certification who will transmit a copy together with the test result and rerating form to the Manufacturer.

The Manufacturer has to recover his products within four weeks after receiving test report. If the units are not recovered after this delay, the laboratory will destroy the units and invoice the Manufacturer.


of 28

IV.4 Failure treatment

a. Component failure

If any functional component is inoperative, or the unit is damaged and cannot be repaired at the Laboratory, then the unit is considered as “component failure". A further unit shall be delivered within four weeks for test.

b. General

If the value found by testing in the independent laboratory differs from the declared value by more than the acceptable tolerance (see relevant Rating Standard), the Manufacturer has four weeks after notification of failure to select one of the following alternatives:

• Re-rate the product in accordance with the re-rating rules.

• Ask for a partial second test on the same unit. In this case, the Manufacturer can choose to re-test either thermal measurements or sound measurements or air flow measurements (if declared).

• Ask for a complete second test on another unit of the same model selected by Eurovent Certita Certification. In this case, all measurements (cooling, heating, sound, air flow (if declared)) are to be re-tested.

c. Re-rating rules

Only the tested product shall be rerated according to the test results.

All declared speeds shall be re-rated with the same measured deviation if there is a failure on one of the following performances (at standard rating or application rating conditions):

• Total cooling capacity

• Sensible cooling capacity

• Heating capacity

• Water pressure drops (heating and cooling)

• Fan power input (cooling and heating)

If the air flow is tested, the declared fan power inputs of low, medium and high speeds at standard rating and application rating conditions shall be compared to the one measured during the air flow test and not the thermal test.

Deviations and rerated values for the water pressure drops have to be corrected using the two following formulas.

Eq. 2 Dp%&'()*(+, = -./01234516×8 9061:;25169001234516<=.?@./61:;2516A./BC1:;2516

Eq. 3 DpD&D)*&% = DpE&)FGD&% × 8 H061:;2516H001234516<I.J

With Dp the water pressure drop and Qm the mass water flow rate.

Note: In cooling mode Qm is replaced by (Total cooling capacity + Fan power input) in the above formulas. In heating mode Qm is replaced by (Heating capacity – Fan power input).

Air flow rates and sound power levels shall be rerated according to the test results.


of 28

d. High failure treatment: Penalty tests

For each test, one additional unit will be selected for next test campaign in case of high deviation on one or several of the following performances:

• total cooling capacity at standard conditions

• total heating capacity at standard conditions

• sound power level for non-ducted units only

High deviation thresholds are given in the relevant Rating Standards (RS-6C002 and RS-6C002A).

Maximum five additional units can be selected per test campaign.

Additional tests in qualifying procedure need to be validated before the certification is granted.

e. Update of selection tools

In case of rerate the Applicant/Participant shall update his selection tool(s) according to the rerated values within 6 months.

IV.5 Repeated failures along the test campaigns

This section refers to the corresponding section of the Certification Manual.

The rules regarding Mean Value of Failure (MVF) are described in APPENDIX D.

APPENDIX D. CALCULATION METHOD AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MEAN VALUE OF FAILURE (MVF)

D.I. General

Mean Value of Failure (MVF) is equal, for each Manufacturer to the ratio between the total numbers of measurements of all the considered characteristics above the “Mean Deviation threshold” (see table below) and the total performed measurements in the considered years.

For each test, the MVF calculation is reported in the test result file.

The following characteristics are considered:

• sensible cooling capacity (Ps), total cooling capacity (Pc) heating capacity (Ph) at tested speed at standard and application rating conditions

• sound power level for non ducted and ducted units (Lw) for each speed

When there is a second test on a unit, then the first measurement is not taken into account.

A Manufacturer is suspended from the Programme for one year if the mean value of failure MVF is higher than 30%.

If the MVF is equal or less than 5%, 13% of the BMG instead of 17% will be tested for the next test campaign.

D.II. Implementation

At the end of each following year, Eurovent Certita Certification takes into consideration the last three test campaign data of each Manufacturer.


of 28

D.III. New comers and qualifying procedure

Data of new Participants will be first taken into consideration after two test campaigns (including qualifying tests).

The Manufacturer who leaves the programme but then decides to join again will be considered a Newcomer if joining after three years. If he returns to the programme before, all the latest existing test campaign are considered, with minimum two and maximum three. The same rule applies if the Manufacturer has been excluded for one year.

D.IV. Notification of being suspended

A Participant who is going to be suspended will receive a notification from Eurovent Certita Certification.

A Manufacturer who leaves the program because he has been suspended should complete the qualifying procedure within the campaign for which he has been suspended in order to rejoin for the next campaign. He becomes a Newcomer.
