Where the data plate is on a heat pump
On the outdoor unit, same place as a condenser: a plate on the side or back of the cabinet near the line set. The indoor air handler carries its own plate with its own serial.
General guidance, not brand-specific: the owner's manual or the installer can point to the exact spot. See the data plate guide.
For scale only: the InterNACHI Standard Estimated Life Expectancy Chart for Homes lists Heat Pump at 10 to 15 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.

What we could not confirm
- The before 2009 format has no source we could check; it is shown for completeness only.
- The before 2009 format is documented but not decodable here: no year decode text.
- FD number on the rating plate (separate from the E-Nr model number) is the production date: FD YYWW + sequence, with the year offset by 20 (FD 93.. = 2013). building-center calls digits 3-4 the WEEK; some trade sources call it the month - not resolved this session (bosch-home.com US FAQ/serial pages 404; search budget exhausted). bosch-home.com/us/en = 200 (site home only; no serial lookup confirmed).
