This Certification Programme applies to air-cooled and water-cooled rooftops rated below 100 kW. Models with cooling or heating
capacity from 100 kW up to 200 kW can be certified as an option.
Models of rooftops using gas burners for heating shall only be certified for cooling.
Definitions
Rooftop
Basic Model Groups (BMGs) are defined by units which are essentially the same in terms of:
Testing Requirements
Standard ratings shall be established at the standard rating conditions specified in the following section. All standard ratings shall be
verified by tests conducted in accordance with the following standards:
Performance testing
EN 14511 (2013): "Air conditioners, liquid chilling packages and heat pumps with electrically driven compressors for space heating
and cooling".
Acoustical testing
EN 12102 "Air conditioners, liquid chilling packages, heat pumps and dehumidifiers with electrically driven compressors for space
heating and cooling - Measurement of airbone noise - Determination of the sound power level".
Rating requirements
Performance ratings claimed by manufacturers shall be verified by tests performed in one of Eurovent Independent Laboratories or
in Participant Laboratory (see IV.3). The rooftop units shall be tested and rated at specific conditions, the closest possible to their
application. The following specifications will be used during the tests:
Test unit shall be installed with vertical or horizontal airflow in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications
3
Indoor airflow should be in relation with cooling capacity, therefore expressed in m /h/kW. It shall be between 170 and
3
210m /h/kW
No fresh air shall be used for rating, neither in cooling, nor in heating.
The operating conditions shall be used following Table 2.
Allowable deviations from set values are given in EN 14511.
Testing shall be carried without mixing damper.
The rated airflow rate given by the manufacturer shall be set and the resulting external static pressure (ESP) measured. This
ESP shall be greater than the minimum value given in Table 1. For equipment tested without an air filter installed, the
minimum external static pressure shall be increased by 10Pa.
Cooling 27 19 35 24 30 35
* For units designated for cooling mode, the water flow rate obtained during the test at standard rating conditions in cooling is used.
** Same airflow and same available pressure as for the thermal test shall be used.

d) COP
The purpose of ECC Energy Efficiency Classes is to simplify the selection of the best units for each type of Rooftops. The
classification is entirely voluntary, not related to any European Directive. The energy efficiency of Rooftops is designated by "ECC
Class A" or "ECC Class B" in catalogues and in the ECC Directory of Certified Products.
Important:
The Standard EN 14511 has been reviewed in 2013. For a same product, the new Energy Efficiencies (EER and COP)
can be decreased in comparison to previous efficiencies (from EN 14511:2011).
Moreover, the Energy Efficiency thresholds, presented below, have not changed.
As a consequence, a same product could be designated by "ECC Class A" in 2012, and "ECC Class B" currently.
