The notified Regulation seeks to establish the minimum seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), test methods, conformity assessment procedure and labelling requirements for split-type, free-flow, ductless inverter air conditioners with variable refrigerant flow, which are manufactured, imported or marketed in the States Parties. The Regulation applies to split-type, free-flow, ductless inverter air conditioners with variable refrigerant flow, powered by electricity, with nominal cooling capacities of up to 19,050W (65,000 BTU), which operate by mechanical compression and include an air-cooling evaporator coil, a frequency compressor with variable refrigerant flow and an air-cooled condensing coil, and which are manufactured, imported or marketed in the States Parties. The following devices are excluded from the scope of this Technical Regulation: · Water-source heat and cooling-only pumps · Units designed for use with additional ducting · Mobile units (not window-type) with a condenser exhaust duct · Multi-split units with a frequency compressor and variable refrigerant flow · Floor/ceiling units that exceed the limit of 19,050W (65,000 BTU) · Household goods · Samples of no commercial value, depending on each State Party's procedure
