The relevant Tdesignh values are defined as follows:
— Tdesign “average” dry bulb temperature conditions at − 10 °C (− 11 °C wet bulb) outdoor temperature and 20 °C indoor temperature;
— Tdesign “colder” dry bulb temperature conditions at − 22 °C (− 23 °C wet bulb) outdoor temperature and 20 °C indoor temperature and the relevant Tbivalent is defined as follows:

— for the colder heating season, the dry bulb bivalent temperature is − 7 °C or lower;
— for the warmer heating season, the dry bulb bivalent temperature is + 7 °C or lower
If the declared TOL is less than the Tdesign h for the specified climate, TOL is considered equal to Tdesign h For Tbivalent and TOL values at or above −7 °C, the wet bulb temperature is defined as the dry bulb temperature minus 1 °C However, for Tbivalent and TOL values below −7 °C, the wet bulb temperature is undefined Under all other part load conditions, the appliance's declared capacity exceeds the building load.

The seasonal performance calculation utilizes the bin method, determining part load values such as GUEh, AEFh, EHREgash, and EHREelech at each bin temperature through linear interpolation of the corresponding part load values at reference conditions A, B, C, D, and occasionally E and F.
The part load conditions A, B, C, D, E and F provide the part load ratios and the temperature test conditions at six reference outdoor air dry bulb temperatures: − 7 °C, 2 °C, 7 °C, 12 °C, TOL and Tbivalent
The part load ratio corresponding to a given outdoor temperature is defined according to Formula (10):

Relationship between this European Standard and the energy labelling requirements of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 811/2013 aimed to be covered
This European Standard was developed in response to the Commission's standardization request “M/535” to offer a voluntary method for meeting the energy labeling requirements outlined in Commission Delegated Regulation (EC) No 811/2013, dated 18 February 2013 This regulation supplements Directive 2010/30/EU from the European Parliament and Council, specifically addressing energy labeling for space heaters and combination heaters.
Citing this standard in the Official Journal of the European Union establishes compliance with the normative clauses outlined in Table ZB.1 This compliance, within the standard's scope, provides a presumption of conformity with the relevant energy labeling requirements of the Regulation and associated EFTA regulations.
Table ZB.1 outlines the relationship between the European Standard and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 811/2013, which supplements Directive 2010/30/EU concerning energy labeling for space heaters and combination heaters, as well as the Commission's standardization request M/535.
