Test Report


Format

All Test Reports must be prepared in the format prescribed by NEA:

At least the cover page of any Test Report shall be printed on the testing laboratory's company letterhead. The Test Report shall be signed and stamped by the testing laboratory.

The Test Report shall contain the results of the tests carried out in accordance with the test standard. The Test Report shall also include the following details:

  • Color photos showing the exterior and interior of the model in the available finishing and colors as well as the nameplate
  • Color photo showing the number of connectors on the outdoor unit
  • Schematic drawing clearly indicating the model's internal parts
  • List and technical description of the model's internal components
  • Certificate and scope of accreditation of the testing laboratory providing the test report, if applicable

Testing Laboratories

Test Reports shall be provided by one of the following categories of testing laboratories:

  • Testing laboratories that are accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) to carry out the tests in accordance with the applicable test standards;
  • Testing laboratories in countries other than Singapore that are accredited by their local accreditation bodies, which have signed a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) with the SAC, to carry out the tests in accordance with the applicable test standards; or
  • Manufacturer's in-house testing laboratories.

Test Reports provided by the first two categories of testing laboratories who act as witnesses to the tests carried out at the manufacturer's in-house testing laboratories are also accepted. The list of SAC accredited testing laboratories and MRA partners is available at here.

Test Standards

All tests shall be carried out at 230V AC and in accordance with the applicable test standards in the table below:

Cooling Capacity Ratings Test for Air-Conditioners

The cooling capacity ratings test for split type air-conditioners shall be conducted with:

  • All the compressors running and all the indoor units running at full load for the duration of the test
  • Cooling capacity ratio of indoor units to outdoor unit equal to 1 ±5%
  • Combinations of any type of non-ducted indoor units
  • Number of indoor units equal to the number of connectors on the outdoor unit
  • Measured cooling capacity must be > 95% of rated value
  • Measured energy consumption must be < 110% of rated value

For inverter type air-conditioners, the test shall also be conducted at part-load cooling capacity with the cooling capacity ratio of indoor units to outdoor units set at 0.5 ±3%. Part-load cooling capacity is defined as the cooling capacity at 50% load, within ±0.1kW or ±2.5%, whichever is larger.
