Energy Efficiency Criteria and Labeling Method for Energy Label Qualified Refrigerators
Revision Promulgated and in effected May 31, 2017

1.For the refrigerator-freezers (“products”) applying for Energy Label certification, the test conditions and method for measuring the Energy Factor (E.F.) shall meet the requirements of the CNS 2062.
2.The product’s labeled E.F. value shall not be less than the stipulated value below, and the measured E.F. value shall be greater than 95% of the labeled E.F. value.

TypeE.F.(V/Kwh/month)
Fan-type refrigerator-freezer with
equivalent interior capacity less than 400 liter
E.F.=(V/(0.037×V+24.3)×1.45
Fan-type refrigerator-freezer with
equivalent interior capacity greater than 400 liter
E.F.=(V/(0.031×V+21.0)×1.45
Direct cooling-type refrigerator-freezer with
equivalent interior capacity less than 400 liter
E.F.=(V/(0.033×V+19.7)×1.45
Direct cooling-type refrigerator-freezer with
equivalent refrigerated capacity greater than 400 liter
E.F.=(V/(0.029×V+17.0)×1.45
Refrigerator onlyE.F.=(V/(0.033×V+15.8)×1.54


In the above equations, the equivalent interior capacity is calculated as follows: 
Equivalent interior capacity V=VR+K×VF 
VR(liter): effective interior capacity of the refrigeration compartment  
VF(liter): effective interior capacity of the freezer compartment  
K: conversion factor for calculating effective interior freezer compartment, which is 1.56 for 2-star rating, 1.67 for super 2-star rating, and 1.78 for 3-star and 4-star rating.

3.Notes on product labeling:
(1) The name and address of the label user shall be clearly displayed on the product or product packaging.
(2) If the label user is an agent, the name and address of the product manufacturer shall also be clearly displayed on the product or product packaging.  
(3) The Energy Factor (E.F.) shall be stated in the product catalog.
(4) The calculated and measured values of the equivalent interior capacity, measured E.F. value and E.F. criteria value shall be rounded to one decimal place.
