What happens if a manufacturer gives the wrong setting data when a market surveillance authority wants to test a product, such as an air-to-air heat pump ?

If the technical documentation is not correct, the product is formally non-compliant. The Ecodesign Directive does not specifically address charges to manufacturers for testing costs, but does require Member States to lay down penalties for infringement of national provisions adopted pursuant to the Directive.
