Definition (User manual)

If a new heat generating capacity is installed within the duration of the Eco-label award, it shall be a high efficiency cogeneration unit (as defined by Directive 2004/8/EC of 11 February, on the promotion of cogeneration based on a useful heat demand in the internal energy market and amending Directive 94/42/EEC6), a heat pump or an efficient boiler. In the latter case, the efficiency of such a boiler shall be of 4 stars (ca. 92 % at 50° C and 95% at 70° C), measured according to Council Directive 92/42/EEC of
21 May 1992 on efficiency requirements for new hot water boilers fired with liquid or gaseous fuels, or according to relevant product norms and regulations for those boilers not covered by this Directive.
Existing hot-water boilers fired with liquid or gaseous fuels as defined in Directive 92/42/EEC shall comply with efficiency standards at least equivalent to three stars as stated in the Directive. Existing cogeneration units shall comply with the definition of high efficiency in Directive 2004/8/EC.
The efficiency of boilers excluded from Directive 92/42/EEC shall comply with the manufacturer's instructions and with national and local legislation on efficiency, but for such existing boilers (with the exception of biomass boilers) an efficiency lower than 88% shall not be accepted.
