- Scope
- This International Standard specifies the essential characteristics for household frozen food storage cabinets and food freezers cooled by internal forced air circulation and for household refrigerators with or without cellar, ice-making or frozen food storage compartments, and of refrigerator-freezers with or without cellar compartment and with at least the food freezer and or frozen food storage compartment(s) cooled by internal forced air circulation, which are wholly factory assembled, and lays down the meth- ods of test for the checking of these characteristics. Appliances with one refrigerating system in which there are compartments, some cooled by forced air circulation and others by natural convection, shall be tested in accordance with this International Standard. Compartments cooled by natural convection but hav- ing a separate independent refrigerating system shall be tested in accordance with the applicable refer- enced standard. However, all compartments are automatically de- frosted with automatic disposal of the defrost water. This International Standard does not apply to house- hold refrigerators (which are covered in ISO 7371), refrigerator-freezers (which are covered in ISO 8187) or frozen food storage cabinets and food freezers (which are covered in ISO 5155) not cooled by internal forced air circulation. The tests described in this International Standard are type tests. When it is necessary to verify the per- formance of a refrigerating appliance of a given type in relation to this |nternational Standard, all the tests described should in principle be applied to one and the same unit. These tests can also be made individually for the study of a particular characteristic. Where no test method is specified, the particular re- quirement concerned is to be considered as a rec- ommendation. The electrical and mechanical safety requirements applicable to household refrigerating appliances are specified in IEC 335-2-24, This International Standard does not apply to household frost-free refrigerating appliances operating on energy sources other than electricity. Additional safety requirements applicable to the re- frigerating systems of household refrigerating appli- ances are given in ISO 5149.
