This standard applies to the following types of open and closed commercial refrigerators and freezers used for displaying or holding products for which refrigeration is either required or desired:

a. Both horizontal and vertical open and closed refrigerators and freezers

b. Both remote and self-contained open and closed refrigerators and freezers

This standard does not apply to walk-in coolers, or refrigerators and freezers where the refrigerated air is in communication with walk-in coolers.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this standard is to prescribe a uniform method of testing open and closed refrigerators and freezers for rating so that comparative evaluations can be made of energy consumption, product temperature performance, refrigeration load, the suction pressures required, and other performance factors.
