Note: For a reverse cycle air conditioner, the product must meet the requirements of this section for both heating and cooling.
(1) This section applies to a product in product class 2, 3 or 4.
(2) If the product is capable of cooling, the product’s rated and tested EER must be greater than or equal to the relevant MEPS level.
(3) If the product is capable of heating, the product’s rated and tested COP must be greater than or equal to the relevant MEPS level.
Note: For products in product classes 2 and 4 with a supplementary water tank designed to provide additional water to an evaporatively‑cooled condenser, the EER and COP may be tested using this feature, provided that the duration of the tank is 4 hours or more. See sections 12 and 13 of Schedule 2.
