This Standard specifies the essential characteristics of household refrigerators with or without cellar, low temperature compartments which are wholly factory assembled, and lays down the methods of test for the checking of these characteristics. It does not apply to freezers, which are covered in ISO 5155, or refrigerator-freezers, which are covered in ISO 8187. It does not include refrigerating performance characteristics and tests, or particular definitions for refrigerators cooled by internal forced air circulation, which are the subject of ISO 8561.
