Full title and description

St ISO 16358-1-2013 cor1-2013 — Air-cooled air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps — Testing and calculating methods for seasonal performance factors — Part 1: Cooling seasonal performance factor — Technical Corrigendum 1. This corrigendum provides technical/editorial corrections to ISO 16358-1:2013 and is intended to correct the published text of the 2013 Part 1 edition without introducing new normative requirements.

Abstract

This document is a Technical Corrigendum (Corr. 1:2013) that applies to ISO 16358-1:2013. It issues corrections to the original Part 1 text (cooling seasonal performance factor) so that test and calculation procedures in ISO 16358-1:2013 read as intended for marking, comparison and certification purposes. The corrigendum itself is short (one page) and does not replace the main standard; it should be used together with ISO 16358-1:2013.

General information

• Status: Published (Corrigendum to ISO 16358-1:2013).
• Publication date: 2013 (Corrigendum published November 2013 / 2013-11).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 23.120, 27.080.
• Edition / version: Edition 1 — ISO 16358-1:2013 with Technical Corrigendum 1 (2013).
• Number of pages: 1 (corrigendum document).

Scope

The corrigendum applies only to ISO 16358-1:2013 (Part 1 — Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor) and provides corrections to the published text so that the testing and calculation methods for seasonal performance are unambiguous. ISO 16358-1:2013 itself specifies test conditions and procedures for determining cooling seasonal performance factors for air-cooled air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps (equipment covered by ISO 5151, ISO 13253 and ISO 15042). The corrigendum does not extend the scope of the original standard.

Key topics and requirements

• Technical/editorial corrections to the text of ISO 16358-1:2013 so that formulas, test-condition descriptions or procedural steps read correctly.
• Clarification of procedures used to calculate the Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor (CSPF) and related definitions as used in Part 1.
• Reference and alignment with related test standards (ISO 5151, ISO 13253, ISO 15042) used for component test methods and boundary conditions.
• Maintains the normative content of the 2013 edition; the corrigendum corrects the published wording rather than introducing new normative requirements.

Typical use and users

Test laboratories, certification bodies, manufacturers of air-cooled air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps, regulatory authorities and energy-labeling programs use ISO 16358-1:2013 together with Corrigendum 1 to ensure consistent calculation of seasonal cooling performance factors (CSPF/TCSPF) and to resolve ambiguities in test procedures or formulae. Engineers and product compliance specialists consult the corrigendum when performing tests or preparing test reports and declarations to ensure the published standard text is interpreted as intended.

Related standards

ISO 16358-1:2013 (and its corrigendum) references and is intended to be used with ISO 5151 (testing of room air conditioners), ISO 13253 and ISO 15042 (tests for other categories of air conditioning / heat pump equipment). The Part 1 corrigendum should be considered alongside ISO 16358-1 amendments and subsequent editorial updates (for example, amendments published in later years to ISO 16358-1).

Keywords

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: This entry is the Technical Corrigendum 1 (Corr. 1:2013) to ISO 16358-1:2013 — a one-page document issuing corrections to the published Part 1 text (cooling seasonal performance factor).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It corrects errors or ambiguities in ISO 16358-1:2013 so that the test and calculation methods for the Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor (CSPF) are clear and consistent; it does not add new normative requirements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Test laboratories, manufacturers, certification bodies, compliance engineers and regulatory programs that perform or rely on CSPF calculations for air-cooled air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum applies to the 2013 edition of ISO 16358-1 and remains the published correction for that edition; ISO 16358-1:2013 has later amendments (for example, amendments issued in 2019 and 2024 to the main Part 1 text) and the base standard was last reviewed/confirmed by ISO in subsequent reviews — users should consult the current status of ISO 16358-1 (including amendments) when applying the standard.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 16358 is a multipart standard dealing with testing and calculating methods for seasonal performance factors; Part 1 covers cooling seasonal performance factor for air-cooled equipment and is linked to other parts or related documents and amendments.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: CSPF, cooling seasonal performance factor, air-cooled air conditioners, air-to-air heat pumps, seasonal performance, testing, ISO 16358-1, corrigendum.
