THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related productsOJ L 153, 18.6.2010, p. 1 . , and in particular Article 10 thereof,

This Regulation establishes requirements for the labelling of, and the provision of supplementary product information on, professional refrigerated storage cabinets.

This Regulation shall apply to electric mains-operated professional refrigerated storage cabinets, including those sold for the refrigeration of foodstuffs and animal feed.

This Regulation shall not apply to the following products:

(a) professional refrigerated storage cabinets that are primarily powered by energy sources other than electricity;

(b) professional refrigerated storage cabinets operating with a remote condensing unit;

(d) cabinets specifically designed for food processing, where the mere presence of one compartment, with a net volume equivalent to less than 20 % of the cabinet's total net volume and specifically designed for food processing, is not sufficient for exemption;

(e) cabinets specifically designed only for the purpose of thawing frozen foodstuffs in a controlled manner, where the mere presence of one compartment specifically designed for thawing frozen foodstuffs in a controlled manner is not sufficient for exemption;

(f) saladettes;

(g) serve-over counters and other similar forms of cabinet primarily intended for display and sale of foodstuffs in addition to refrigeration and storage;

(h) cabinets that do not use a vapour compression refrigeration cycle;

(i) custom-made professional refrigerated storage cabinets, made on a one-off basis according to individual customer specification and not equivalent to other professional refrigerated storage cabinets as described in definition 9 of Annex I;

(j) refrigerator-freezers;

(k) static-air cabinets;

(l) built-in cabinets;

(m) roll-in and pass-through cabinets;

(n) chest freezers.

OJ L 153, 18.6.2010, p. 1 .

(1) Directive 2010/30/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling of energy-related products that have significant potential for energy savings and exhibit wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent functionality.

(2) The energy consumed by professional refrigerated storage cabinets accounts for a significant share of total electricity demand in the Union, and professional refrigerated storage cabinets with equivalent functionality exhibit wide disparity in terms of energy efficiency. The scope for reducing their energy consumption is significant. Professional refrigerated storage cabinets should therefore be covered by energy labelling requirements.

(3) Harmonised provisions should be laid down on labelling and standard product information regarding the energy efficiency of professional refrigerated storage cabinets in order to provide incentives for manufacturers to improve the energy efficiency of those products, encourage end-users to purchase energy-efficient products and contribute to the functioning of the internal market.

(4) The combined effect of this Regulation and Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1095Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1095 of 5 May 2015 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers (see page 19 of this Official Journal). is expected to result in estimated annual energy savings of about 1,8 TWh in 2020 and 4,1 TWh in 2030, corresponding to 0,7 and 1,4 million tonnes CO2 equivalent, as compared with what would happen if no measures were taken.

(5) The information provided on the label should be obtained through reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedures based on recognised state-of-the-art methods, including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation organisations, as listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 316, 14.11.2012, p. 12 ). .

(6) This Regulation should specify a uniform design and content of product labels for professional refrigerated storage cabinets.

(7) In addition, this Regulation should specify requirements for the product fiche and technical documentation for professional refrigerated storage cabinets.

(8) Moreover, this Regulation should specify requirements for the information to be provided in any form of distance-selling of professional refrigerated storage cabinets and in any advertisements and technical promotional material for such products.

(9) It is appropriate to provide for a review of the provisions of this Regulation taking into account technological progress,

The following definitions shall apply for the purpose of this Regulation:

(a) professional refrigerated storage cabinet means an insulated refrigerating appliance integrating one or more compartments accessible via one or more doors or drawers, capable of continuously maintaining the temperature of foodstuffs within prescribed limits at chilled or frozen operating temperature, using a vapour compression cycle, and intended for the storage of foodstuffs in non-household environments but not for the display to or access by customers;

(b) foodstuffs means food, ingredients, beverages, including wine, and other items primarily intended for consumption which require refrigeration at specified temperatures;

(c) built-in cabinet means a fixed insulated refrigerating appliance intended to be installed in a cabinet, in a prepared recess in a wall or similar location, and requiring furniture finishing;

(d) roll-in cabinet means a professional refrigerated storage cabinet including one unique compartment that allows wheeled racks of product to be wheeled in;

(e) pass-through cabinet means a professional refrigerated storage cabinet accessible from both sides;

(f) static-air cabinet means a professional refrigerated storage cabinet without internal forced-air circulation, specifically designed to store temperature-sensitive foodstuffs or to avoid a drying effect on foodstuffs stored without a sealed enclosure, where a single static air compartment within the cabinet is not sufficient to designate the cabinet as a static air cabinet;

(g) open cabinet means a professional refrigerated storage cabinet whose refrigerated enclosure can be reached from the outside without opening a door or a drawer, where the mere presence of one compartment which can be reached from the outside without opening a door or a drawer, with a net volume equivalent to less than 20 % of the professional refrigerated storage cabinet's total volume, is not sufficient to qualify it as such;

(h) saladette means a professional refrigerated storage cabinet with one or more doors or drawer fronts in the vertical plane that has cut-outs in the top surface into which temporary storage bins can be inserted for easy-access storage of foodstuffs such as, but not limited to, pizza toppings or salad items;

(i) combined cabinet means a professional refrigerated storage cabinet including two or more compartments with different temperatures for the refrigeration and storage of foodstuffs;

(j) refrigerator-freezer means a type of combined cabinet including at least one compartment exclusively intended for chilled operating temperature and one compartment exclusively intended for frozen operating temperature;

(k) chest freezer means a food freezer in which the compartment(s) is accessible from the top of the appliance or which has both top-opening type and upright type compartments but where the gross volume of the top-opening type compartment(s) exceeds 75 % of the total gross volume of the appliance.

Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1095 of 5 May 2015 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for professional refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers (see page 19 of this Official Journal).
