• Conditions of temperature (number of hours per outdoor temperature) for an identied climate (average climate for ErP
compliance)
• Building heat load (called Pdesign)
HITACHI, in compliance with the Eco Design Directive, has developed the new outdoor units: UTOPIA IVX Premium and
IVX Standard series, whose high efciency level (including SEER and SCOP values) is properly informed to our customers
to allow for an easy selection.
IVX Premium and IVX Standard Series offer high seasonal efciencies, as well as complete exibility, with all outdoor units
from both ranges being fully compatible with the System Free range of indoor units. Hitachi’s IVX technology has all the
benets of VRF, including individual control of each indoor unit with an increased number of indoor unit combinations in
addition to delivering excellent part-load efciency.
With cooling capacities and heating capacities from 2HP to 12HP, a maximum of 8 indoor units are connectable to a single
outdoor unit, with individual control and efciencies achieved as high as A++/A+ (depending on model/combinations).
2.2.3 Energy classes and Energy label
The energy efciency classes from A
+++
to D are introduced based on SCOP and SEER values: The scale for energy
labelling will be:
A+++
A++
D
C
B
A
A+
E

G SCOP < 1,90
1,90 SCOP < 2,20≤
2,20 SCOP < 2,50≤
2,50 SCOP < 2,80≤
2,80 SCOP < 3,10≤
3,10 SCOP < 3,40≤
3,40 SCOP < 4,00≤
4,00 SCOP < 4,60≤
4,60 SCOP < 5,10≤
SCOP 5,10≥
5,60 SEER < 6,10≤
6,10 SEER < 8,50≤
SEER 8,50≥
5,10 SEER < 5,60≤
4,60 SEER < 5,10≤
4,10 SEER < 4,60≤
3,60 SEER < 4,10≤
3,10 SEER < 3,60≤
2,60 SEER < 3,10≤
SEER < 2,60
The agenda of minimum SCOP/SEER for compliance is:
SEER SCOP
2013 3.60 (D) 3.40 (A)
2014 4.30 (C) 3.80 (A)

The Energy label is the regulation compliant way of displaying product efciency and sound level to any point of sales.
This label displays 3 European climates: average climate (green), cold climate (blue), hot climate (orange). Regulation
requirement is to display any information related to performances on average climate.
Climate used on ErP Temperature used for product selection
Average -10°C
Cold -22°c
Hot +2
Enforcement date is January 1st, 2013 and the energy label will be introduced in four versions. The design of the four
labels will be similar, with the exception that the labelling scale for the minimum level of performance in heating and cool-
ing mode and the limit of maximum sound power level for indoor and outdoor units will be adjusted every other two years.
