3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 16905-1 apply.
4 Test methods
4.1 General
A steady-state or transient or cyclical operation test could be applied for 100 % load tests or for
reduced load tests.
The sound power level is measured in the standard rating conditions as given in EN 16905-3 with the
corresponding test methods according to EN 12102 considering that this standard, dedicated to
determination of the sound power level could be used with appliances covered in the scope of the
EN 16905 series.
4.2 Basic principles method of calculation for the determination of capacities
4.2.1 Capacity
4.2.1.1 Measured capacity
The measured heating or cooling capacity of air-to-air or water (brine)-to-air GEHP shall be determined
by measurements in a calorimeter room (see Annex A) or by the air enthalpy method (see Annex B).
The measured heating or cooling capacity of air-to-water (brine) or water (brine)-to-water (brine)
GEHP shall be determined in accordance with the water enthalpy method (see Annex D).
The measured heat recovery capacity of all GEHP shall be determined in accordance with the water
enthalpy method (see Annex D).

4.2.1.2.1 Effective heating capacity
The effective heating capacity is the measured heating capacity corrected for the heat from the device
(pump(s) or fan(s)) responsible for circulating the heat transfer medium through the indoor heat
exchanger:
