The GEHP appliances having their condenser cooled by air and by the evaporation of external additional

water are not covered by this document.
Single split and multisplit systems are covered by this document.
The GEHP appliances can have one or more primary or secondary functions.

This document specifies the requirements, test methods and test conditions concerning, in particular, the

construction, safety, fitness for purpose, and rational use of energy, for the rating and performance

calculation of air conditioners and heat pumps using either air, water or brine as heat transfer media,

with gas-fired endothermic engine driven compressors when used for space heating, cooling and

refrigeration, hereafter referred to as “GEHP appliance”.

EN 16905 comprises the following parts under the general title, Gas-fired endothermic engine driven

heat pumps:
— Part 1: Terms and definitions;
— Part 2: Safety;
— Part 3: Tests conditions;
— Part 4: Tests methods;
— Part 5: Calculation of seasonal performances in heating and cooling mode.
