3.19 NAECA and Energy Policy Act (EPACT) Re-rating Requirements . EPACT units are those that
operate on three phase power.

In all cases of tested combinations where the test results require re-rating at less than the
applicable minimum efficiency, the model shall be made obsolete and listed with the
appropriate “WAS” ratings. Failure option tests continue to apply.

For Single Packaged Systems that do not meet the minimum efficiency requirement, all
models in the BMG shall be re-rated in proportion to the test results and made obsolete.

If a non-HSVTC model is tested, all combinations in the BMG shall be re-rated in proportion
to the difference between the rated and test results.
o
The Participant may, at his expense and within seven (7) calendar days after
notification of test results, request the HSVTC be tested. If the HSVTC passes the
test, then the Participant has the option to have another non-HSVTC sample selected
for test by AHRI from the same BMG to save the rest of the BMG. If the other sample
fails, the entire BMG other than the HSVTC sample is re-rated to the latest test results.

If any system in a BMG is re-rated below the applicable minimum efficiency, the Participant
may elect to test any such combination to determine the pass/fail status of that combination
only.
3.20 Test Sample Refrigerant Charge . The Laboratory shall charge the sample in accordance with the
Participant
’s installation instructions. If a range is provided, the mean of the range shall be used for the
test. For ICMs, the Laboratory shall follow the ICM
’s charging instructions. If no charging instructions are
provided by the ICM, the Laboratory shall charge per the System Manufacturer
’s installation instructions.
3.21

Manufacturer’s ratings are outlined in the AHRI General Operations Manual.
4.2 ICM Challenges . If an
ICM’s rating is challenged, the following procedures shall be followed:
4.2.1 Test the System HSVTC . The Laboratory shall first test the Outdoor Unit as a system
paired with the System Manufacturer’s HSVTC Indoor Unit. All performance ratings shall pass at
or above 95%.
4.2.1.1 Acquiring Challenge Units . A new System Manufacturer Indoor Unit
and Outdoor Unit shall be acquired in accordance with Section 10 of the General
Operations Manual.
4.2.1.2 System Challenge Test Pass . If all system performance ratings pass
at or above 95%, proceed to test the ICM match (Section 4.2.2).
