scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements for design, construction, performance, suitability for use, safety and hygiene of refrigerated bulk bovine milk coolers and the related methods of test. It applies to refrigerated bulk milk tanks with air cooled condensing units and automatic control intended for installation on farms or at milk collecting points. It applies to tanks for two milkings (24 h), four milkings (48 h) and six milkings (72 h), in which the cooling takes place totally or partially within the tank. Performance requirements in 5.4.1.2.1 and 5.4.1.2.2 do not apply to tanks where cooling does not take place totally within the tank nor where the tank is associated with a continuous system of milking (e.g. milking with robot).
