Amendment No. 4
to
AS/NZS 4474.2:2001
Performance of household electrical appliances—Refrigerating appliances
Part 2: Energy labelling and minimum energy performance standard requirements
REVISED TEXT
The 2001 edition of AS/NZS 4474.2 is amended as follows; the amendments should be inserted in the appropriate places.
SUMMARY: This Amendment applies to the Preface, Clauses 1.1, 1.2, 1.5.13, 2.2.2, 2.3, 2.7, 2.9, 2.10, 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5.3, 4.1.1, 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.1.7, 4.2, 5.4, Figures 5.1 and D1 and Appendix E.

Approved for publication in New Zealand on behalf of the Standards Council of New Zealand on 22 June 2007.
Page 2 Preface Paragraph 7
After the sixth paragraph beginning ‘Administrative arrangements ...’ add the following new paragraphs:
Amendment 4 references the revised AS/ZS 4474.1:2007 rather than AS/NZS 4474.1:1997. Wherever these amendments have occurred in sections of this Standard that reference MEPS 1999, these obsolete references have been deleted. All other references to MEPS 1999 in this Standard will be deleted in the new edition of AS/NZS 4474.2. A new edition of AS/NZS 4474.2 is planned for publication in 2007 to include the new MEPS and energy validity criteria as well as a new star rating algorithm for all refrigerators and freezers which is anticipated for implementation in 2009.
This Standard is intended to apply to self contained factory-produced refrigerators which are used primarily as household products. Changes were made to the scope of this Standard and Part 1 to overcome any potential confusion regarding products that may also be used in the commercial sector. It appears that some suppliers were under the impression that a claim that a product was intended for commercial use meant that it was not within the scope of the Standard. This has now been clarified to state that products that are suitable for general household use are included in the scope, irrespective of their actual application.

Deletewith the following:
the Clause as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 and replace This Standard specifies the energy labelling and minimum energy performance standard requirements for vapour compression refrigerating appliances that can be connected to mains power and which are within the scope of AS/NZS 4474.1:2007. Such refrigerating appliances that are used in the commercial sector are included within the scope. This Standard does not specify safety requirements.
Separate stand alone wine storage cabinets are not specifically within the scope of this Standard. However, such products may be tested to AS/NZS 4474.1 and labelled to this Standard on a voluntary basis. Any supplier which elects to place an energy label on a wine storage cabinet, shall register the product with the relevant regulator. Before such products can be registered to carry an energy label, they must also meet the relevant MEPS

requirements. Any cabinet which has other standard compartments in addition to a wine storage compartment is included within the scope of this Standard and shall meet the requirements for energy labelling and MEPS.
The following products are excluded from energy labelling and MEPS: (a)
Products that are designed exclusively for use in caravans, vehicles (e.g. mobile homes, campervans and/or rail cars) or boats and which have a total gross volume of less than 60 litres.
(b) Portable products that have a gross volume of less than 30 litres.
(c) Products that have a gross volume of less than 30 litres where the refrigeration function is secondary (e.g. boiling or cooled water dispensers).
(d)
Products that have no options for connection to a 230 V or 400 V 50 Hz mains electricity supply.
In particular, this Standard specifies the following: (i)
Projected annual energy consumption (PAEC).
(ii) Adjusted volume.
(iii) Comparative energy consumption (CEC). (iv) Star rating.
(v) Performance criteria for energy label validity.
(vi) Some of the requirements for energy label validity.
(vii) Minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for refrigerating appliances for
MEPS 2005 requirements. (viii) Test report format and printing requirements for refrigerating appliance energy labels.

Page 10 Clause 2.3
Add the following text after the definition of Et:
Any mode which reduces energy consumption under energy test conditions (including management of heaters) but which is not generally saving energy during normal use shall be defeated where possible for energy consumption testing. Where the refrigerating appliance has an energy reduction mode that could not be disabled for the energy consumption test, then the energy impact of the mode shall be quantified and this value used to adjust each measured energy consumption rate. Where this has not been done in accordance with AS/NZS 4474.1:2007, then the PAEC shall be determined as follows:
365
PAEC = Et × 1000 + 2 × Pr × 8.76 (kWh/year)

where
Pr
=
the average power reduction resulting from the energy reduction mode in watts.

Page 14 Clause 2.10
Add the following new clause after Clause 2.9:
2.10 ENERGY LABELLING AND MEPS FOR MULTI-GROUP PRODUCTS
As specified in AS/NZS 4474.1, the energy consumption of a refrigerating appliance shall be determined for the coldest claimed configuration for all multi-use compartment(s). This value shall be used to determine the primary comparative energy consumption and the star rating for the appliance shown on the energy label.
Where one or more multi-use compartments can be operated in a way that can change the product group, the manufacturer may elect to claim the energy consumption and star rating for each such group configuration in addition to the primary comparative energy consumption. Where any additional groups are claimed, the manufacturer shall nominate which group is the primary group for the purposes of energy labelling.
Any claimed additional groups for a model which are documented in the product literature, shall be separately registered for energy labelling and MEPS for the model. Each configuration registered will be individually listed on the energy rating website. Each additional configuration registered shall comply with the relevant MEPS requirements for the group registered.

The product must be capable of meeting pull down test and temperature operation test requirements (refer Clauses 3.3 and 3.4) for all claimed groups. However, only a single set of test reports for the group configuration that is most onerous is required to demonstrate compliance with temperature operation test or pull down test requirements for energy labelling and MEPS registration.
The energy label displayed on the product shall be the registered details for the primary group nominated.
NOTE: A separate application for each group claimed needs to be submitted for the model.

NOTE: More details on the duration of registration can be found in the Administrative Guidelines. The most up to date version can be obtained from the www.energyrating.gov.au website.
Page 23 Clause 4.1.7 Add the following new clause: 4.1.7 Test method transition
From the date of publication of this Amendment, it is anticipated that regulatory authorities will accept results from test reports to either AS/NZS 4474.1:1997 (including Amendment 3) or AS/NZS 4474.1:2007.
NOTE: If sufficient original raw test data from testing to AS/NZS 4474.1:1997 is still available and it can be analysed to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of AS/NZS 4474.1:2007, further physical testing may not be required in the preparation of a test report in accordance with AS/NZS 4474.1:2007. It is anticipated that registrations using test reports to AS/NZS 4474.1:1997 will only remain valid until 2009.
