Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non­governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

Non-ducted portable air-cooled air conditioners and air-to-
air heat pumps having a single exhaust duct — Testing and
rating for performance
AMENDMENT 1
Clause 9
Add a new subclause 9.3 after subclause 9.2.
9.3  Literature requirements
Each air conditioner and heat pump system shall have information as required by Annex G in
installation/use manuals as provided with the unit from the factory.
Annex  G
Add the following annex after Annex F, before the Bibliography.
Annex G
(normative)
Information on installation and use
G.1 General
Non-ducted portable air-cooled air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps having a single exhaust duct
can be selected for their easiness and rapidity of use, handling and installation, in particular when the
use of other categories of air conditioners is not convenient or it is forbidden, for examples in rented or
holiday houses or in historical buildings where an external unit cannot be placed outdoor. In addition,
these appliances have higher flexibility in use as they do not need to be permanently installed, they
can also be used in different rooms, depending on the length of the exhaust hose or on the installation
conditions available (e.g. suitable air evacuation outlets).
