(Implementing Measures) Regulations, 2011

IN exercise of the powers conferred by articles 38 to 40 of

the Product Safety Act, the Prime Minister, on the advice of the

Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority, has made the

following regulations:-

(1) The title of these regulations is the Energy labelling Citation, scope and

of household electric ovens (Implementing Measures) Regulations, commencement.

2011. (2) These regulations shall be interpreted in terms of

the Indication by Labelling and Standard Product Information of

the Consumption of Energy and other Resources by Energy Related

Products Regulations, 2011, herein after referred to as “the Energy

Labelling Regulations”.

(3) These regulations implement the requirements of

Commission Directive 2002/40/EC of 8 May 2002 implementing

Council Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of

household electric ovens.

(4) These regulations constitute an implementing

measure within the meaning of the Energy Labelling Regulations

with regard to the energy labelling of household electric ovens.

(5) These regulations shall come into force on the 20th

July, 2011.

(1) These regulations shall apply to electric mains

operated household electric ovens including ovens being part of

larger appliances.

(2)

These regulations shall not apply to the following

ovens

(a) ovens that can also use other energy sources;

(b) ovens which do not fall within the scope of the

harmonised standards referred to in regulation 2 of the Energy

Labelling Regulations;

(c) portable ovens, being appliances other than fixed

appliances, having a mass of less than 18 kg, provided they

are not designed for built-in installation.

(3) The energy consumption of the steam functions,

other than the hot steam function, are not covered by these

regulations.

The definitions of the Energy Labelling Regulations shall

(1) The technical documentation referred to in

regulation 6(2)a of the Energy Labelling Regulations shall include

(a)

the name and address of the supplier;

(b) a general description of the model, sufficient for it

to be unequivocally and easily identified;

(c) information, including drawings as relevant, on

the main design features of the model and in particular items

which appreciably affect its energy consumption;

(d) reports of relevant measurement tests carried out

under the test procedures of the harmonised standards referred

to in sub-regulation 4(7) and (8) hereof;

(e) operating instructions, if any.

(2) The label referred to in regulation 5(1) of the

Energy Labelling Regulations shall be as specified in Schedule I to

these regulations.

The label shall be placed on the door of the appliance,

in such a way as to be clearly visible and not obscured. For multi-

cavity ovens, each cavity shall have its own label, except a cavity

which does not fall within the scope of the harmonised standards

referred to in regulation 4(7) and (8) hereof.

(3) The content and format of the fiche referred to in

regulation 5(2) of the Energy Labelling Regulations shall be as

specified in Schedule II to these regulations.

(4) Where the appliances are offered for sale, hire, or

hire purchase by way of a printed or written communication or by

other means whereby the potential customer cannot be expected to

see the appliance displayed, such as a written offer, a mail order

catalogue, advertisements on the Internet or other electronic media,

that communication shall include all the information specified in

Schedule III to these regulations.

This requirement shall also apply in respect of offers for

built-in ovens for integrated kitchens.

(5) The energy efficiency class of each cavity of an

oven shall be determined in accordance with Schedule IV to these

regulations.

(6) The appropriate terms to be used on the label and

the fiche as referred to in regulation 5(1) of the Energy Labelling

Regulations shall be selected from the table set out in Schedule V

to these regulations.

(7) The information required by these Regulations

shall be obtained by means of measurements made in accordance

with harmonised standards adopted by the European Committee for

Electrotechnical Standardization (Cenelec) under mandate from the

Commission in accordance with Directive 98/34/EC, the reference

numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal

of the European Communities and for which Member States

have published the reference numbers of the national standards

transposing those harmonised standards.

(8) The provisions of Schedules I, II and III to these

regulations requiring the giving of information relating to noise

shall apply only where that information is required by Member

States under Article 3 of Directive 86/594/EEC. This information

shall be measured in accordance with that Directive.

The height of the arrow containing the indicator letter shall not be less than —

and not more than twice — the height of the classes arrows.

IV. Without prejudice to any requirements under the Community eco-label

scheme, where a model has been granted a ‘European Union eco-label’ under

Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council

of 17 July 2000 on a revised Community eco-label award scheme ( 1) , a copy of

the eco-label may be added here.

V. Energy consumption in kWh for the heating function(s) (conventional and/or

the forced air convection) (of appliances) based on standard load determined in

accordance with the test procedures of the harmonized standards referred to in

regulation 4(7) and (8) hereof.

VI. Usable volume of the cavity in litres, determined in accordance with the

harmonised standards referred to in regulation 4(7) and (8) hereof.

VII. The size of appliance determined as follows

small

12 l ! volume < 35 l

medium

35 l ! volume < 65 l

large

65 l ! volume
