Amendment No.l to M/495 - Technical update (Annex В of M/495 ) - Details of request to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers condensing units under Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1)
Amendment No. 1 to Mandate M/495 updates the technical requirements outlined in Annex ? of the original mandate. It requests CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop and standardize specifications related to professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units, and process chillers condensing units. These standards support implementation under the relevant Commission Regulation (ENTR Lot 1). The amendment aims to ensure harmonized, up-to-date technical criteria for these product categories to facilitate compliance with ecodesign requirements. The decision on approval or disapproval of this amendment is recorded in resolution CEN/BT C110/2013.
Purpose
The mandate M/495 AMD 1 concerns an amendment to the original Mandate M/495. Its purpose is to provide a technical update specifically related to Annex ? of M/495. This update outlines a detailed request for standardisation activities in the area of energy-related products under the scope of Ecodesign requirements.
Standardisation request
This amendment requests CEN (European Committee for Standardization), CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) to develop or update standards in relation to the following products covered by Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1):
- Professional storage cabinets
- Blast cabinets
- Condensing units
- Process chillers and condensing units
The standardisation is focused on the professional use of these products, likely encompassing energy efficiency, safety, and environmental performance criteria.
Expected deliverables
While the mandate does not specify exact deliverables in the metadata provided, the typical expected outcomes include:
- Harmonized European standards or technical specifications
- Updated test methods and measurement procedures
- Requirements that support the implementation of Ecodesign regulations for the listed product categories
These standards will facilitate compliance with the related Commission Regulation and support market surveillance and product innovation.
Context
Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1) deals with Ecodesign requirements for energy-related products, aimed at improving energy efficiency and environmental impacts. Mandate M/495 originally assigned the tasks for standardisation to CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI concerning various professional refrigeration and storage equipment. This amendment, M/495 AMD 1, serves as a technical update ensuring that the standardisation work remains aligned with the latest regulatory and market developments. The resolution reference CEN/BT C110/2013 indicates formal approval or disapproval by the CEN Board Technical Body linked to this amendment.
This mandate covers standardisation work in the field of professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units, and process chillers condensing units used under specific Commission regulations related to ecodesign requirements.

This document is applicable to air conditioners, heat pumps and liquid chilling packages, including comfort and process chillers. It applies to factory made units defined in EN 14511-1, except single duct, double duct, control cabinet and close control units. It also covers direct exchange-to-water(brine) heat pumps (DX-to-water(brine)) as defined in EN 15879-1.
This document also applies to hybrid units as defined in this standard.
This document specifies the temperatures, part load conditions and the calculation methods for the determination of seasonal energy efficiency SEER and SEERon, seasonal space cooling energy efficiency ηs,c, seasonal coefficient of performance SCOP, SCOPon and SCOPnet, seasonal space heating energy efficiency ηs,h and seasonal energy performance ratio SEPR.
Such calculation methods can be based on calculated or measured values.
In case of measured values, this document specifies the test methods for determination of capacities, EER and COP values during active mode at part load conditions. It also establishes test methods for power input during thermostat-off mode, standby mode, off mode and crankcase heater mode.
NOTE 1 The word "unit" is used instead of the full terms of the products.
NOTE 2 The word "heating" is used to refer to space heating.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/495 AMD 1 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Amendment No.l to M/495 - Technical update (Annex В of M/495 ) - Details of request to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers condensing units under Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1)". Amendment No.l to M/495 - Technical update (Annex В of M/495 ) - Details of request to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers condensing units under Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1) There are 18 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
