The two schematic tables below, respectively for comfort application and for process application, indicate the reference
of the required conformity according to the type of product and the set point temperature (reference to regulations
2016/2281 and 2013/813).
Important note: for mixed comfort and process applications, the reference application for conformity is the comfort
application.

Some specifications and notes follow.
Partly completed machinery
The term partly completed machinery refers to all units without a user-side or source-side heat exchanger, and therefore
to all LC, LE, LC/HP and LE/HP versions. Since these are “non-complete” machines, conformity with Ecodesign depends
on combination with the remote heat exchanger.
All the partly completed machinery is CE marked and accompanied by a declaration of conformity. Installation in Eu
-
ropean Union countries is therefore allowed; correct selection and installation of the remote heat exchanger must be
ensured, in accordance with the above cases.
EC fans:
The only option that positively affects the performance of the unit, by increasing its seasonal energy efficiency ratio, is
the VEC accessory.
A unit equipped with EC fans has a higher SEER (ηsc) than the configuration with standard fans.
