1 Scope
This G u ide defi n es procedures for th e preparation of en erg y effici ency (EE) pu bl ications an d
descri bes th e rel ation sh i p between tech nical com m ittees (TCs) wi th grou p EE fu nctions.

In th e context of th is G u ide, “EE” refers to energ y efficiency of products, system s an d

org an izations.

It uses the bou ndary con cept to address energ y efficiency aspects (see I EC G uide 1 1 8) in the
context of a system s approach.

This G u ide is relevant to every TC wh ich wou ld l ike to pu bl ish a docum en t deal in g with EE.

4 Systems approach
4.1 General considerations
Energ y efficiency sh ou ld be a requ irem ent for products, system s and org an i zations.

EE m easures sh all not com prom ise safety n or affect th e l evel of services.

Im plem entati on of relevan t EE m easu res sh ou l d be in balance wi th econ om ic an d m arket

constrain ts.

It m ay not be su fficien t to im prove th e en erg y efficiency of a si n gle product with ou t

consi derin g its appl ication.

EE of a produ ct shou l d be i n balance to th e depleti on or voi din g of en vironm en tal resources

th at have been u sed to produce i t.

Con versel y, it can be n ecessary to accept th e hi g her l osses of on e product if th ey are off-set
by an overal l im provem ent of en erg y effi ciency i n the en ti re system , consideri ng its
en vironm ent, econ om y and appl icati on. Clause 4 explains h ow tech n ical com m ittees sh oul d
consi der th e system s approach i n th eir work where several TCs have to col laborate. Th is
Gu ide proposes a way of collaboration between TCs on th e bases of th e bou n dari es between
th eir respecti ve responsi bil ities.

The m ai n part of th is approach is a stan dardi zed description of th is bou n dary wh ich defi n es
th e obj ect of energ y efficiency evalu ati on and im provem ent as wel l as th e interfaces between
th e TCs.
I EC GU I DE1 1 9:201 7 © I EC 201 7 –9–

The descri pti on of th e boun dary (ph ysical or conceptual) sh ou l d i nclu de inform ation about the
service(s) that are to be provided. Th is description wi l l m ake n o assum ptions abou t ph ysical

4.3 Broader boundary description – systems approach

Elem ents of th e broader bou ndary descri pti on are sh own in Fig u re 2.

IEC

Figure 2 – Broader boundary description

The choice of th e bou ndary is cen tral for th e possi bl e EE im provem ents. The en erg y
effici ency of a com pl ex system n eeds to be an al ysed using a system s approach instead by
seeki n g to optim i ze th e perform ances of each sin g le com ponen t. Th is m eans that i t is
advisabl e to consider wi der bou n dary descri pti ons i ncl udi n g several services and com pon ents
i n order to ach ieve furth er im provem en ts. An exam ple of th is approach is shown in Ann ex A.

I n th ese cases several TCs wi ll n eed to collaborate i n order to sufficien tl y deal with th e

assessed.

The bou n dary wil l also g i ve an indicati on wh eth er a sin g le TC is abl e to deal with an al ysin g
th e bou n dary th em selves or wh ether collaboration with oth er TCs is n ecessary.

Ann ex B describes th e system s approach as a collaborati ve exam pl e. When ever a group of

TCs is n ecessary to develop a bou n dary descri pti on , this shou ld be done in a grou p EE
pu bl ication .

If an i ndivi du al TC is abl e to develop a bou n dary description for a product in its own scope,
th is sh oul d be don e i n th e produ ct pu bl ication .

Figu re 3 – Stru cture of IEC EE publications and function assignment

The assi gnm en t of a h orizon tal EE fu nction or grou p EE function to a TC is m ade with the
purpose of:
• ensu ri ng th e consistency of I EC pu bl icati ons relati ng to EEA com m on to a n um ber of TCs
by avoiding du pl ication of work and con tradictory requ irem ents;
• reduci ng th e size of I EC pu bl ications by avoidin g du pl ication of texts;
• im provi ng m utu al u nderstan di ng am ong m em bers.
A hori zon tal EE function or a group EE pu bl ication m ay be assign ed to a TC for th e wh ole or

6.1 Basic EE pu blications and g roup EE publications
6.1 .1 General
I t is recom m ended to con su lt I EC G u ide 1 1 8 wh en produ ci n g EE publ icati ons.

Basic and grou p EE pu blicati ons shal l con tai n aspects relevan t to the hori zon tal or g rou p EE

requ irem ents, m eth odolog ies, m easu rem ent, ben chm arking , KPI calcu l ati ons , etc. sh all be
defin ed i n a way appl icable to al l TCs in th e area.

6.1 .2 Basic EE publications

The EEA retained from I EC G u ide 1 1 8 shal l be l isted i n basic EE publicati ons.

Basic EE publ icati ons sh all explain th e principl es on wh ich th ey are based i n order to assist
TCs. G u idance sh all be g i ven to TCs on how to appl y a basic EE pu bl icati on . Standardi zed
m ethods for representi ng com m on characteristics wh ich are used for evalu ation and
im provem ent of overal l energ y efficiency cou ld be an exam ple of a basic EE publ icati on.

The focus of basic EE publicati ons is the g en eral tools an d agreed m eth ods for descri bi ng or

IEC Gu i de 1 1 8. I t is n ot i ntended for use by m an u facturers or certificati on bodies. "

On e of th e responsibil iti es of a TC is, wh erever appl icabl e, to m ake use of basic EE

pu bl ications i n th e preparati on of its pu blications. The pu bl ications sh al l defin e th e EEA wh ich

assessm en t, defin i tion of system bou ndaries, l oad profi l e, key perform ance i n dicator, etc.

I n a few cases, a basic EE publicati on can , in addi tion, be in ten ded for u se as a stan dal one
pu bl ication . I n such cases, th e first paragraph sh all be m odifi ed accordi n g l y.

A basic EE publ icati on shal l incl u de I EC G u ide 1 1 9 and I EC G ui de 1 1 8 i n its l ist of norm ative
references.

It is essenti al that a basic EE pu bl ication n ot be frequ en tl y am en ded or frequ en tl y revised so

I t is essen ti al that grou p EE pu blications n ot be frequ en tl y am en ded or frequ entl y revised

because TCs m u st be g i ven tim e to al i g n th eir publ ications wi th th e cu rren t edi tion.

6.2 Product publications

6.3 References to other publications

Where possible, references to particu lar text sh ou l d be u sed instead of repeatin g th e orig in al
source m aterial , si nce repetiti on i ncreases the possibil i ty of errors in qu oti ng , an d adds to th e
