The TCVN 6576:2020 (ISO 13253:2017) standard, governing the Ducted Air Conditioner and air-to-air heat pump systems, was officially published in 2020. This national standard specifies the rigorous performance testing requirements, standard environmental conditions, and specialized test methods used to evaluate the operational capacity and Energy Efficiency of air-cooled Ducted Air Conditioner units and heat pump technologies.

Please wait a moment to load the TCVN 6577:2020 (ISO 13253:2017) on Ducted Air Conditioners and Air-to-Air Heat Pumps – Testing and Rating for Performance
TCVN 6577:2020 stipulates performance testing, standard conditions, and test methods to determine the capacity and efficiency parameters of air-cooled Ducted Air Conditioner units and air-to-air ducted heat pumps.
This standard is limited to:
- Split-system and unitary air conditioners and heat pumps for residential, commercial, and industrial use;
- Factory-made, electrically driven and using mechanical compression;
- Utilizing components with fixed, multi-stage, and variable capacities;
- Multi-split systems using one or more refrigeration systems, with one outdoor unit and one or more indoor units, controlled by a single thermostat/controller.
The testing and rating requirements in this standard are based on the use of matched assemblies.
Note: TCVN 6577:2020 on Ducted Air Conditioner and air-to-air heat pumps – Testing and rating for performance does not include the determination of seasonal efficiencies, which may be required in some countries as they better represent performance under actual operating conditions.
