Provides energy labelling and minimum energy performance standard requirements for electrical refrigerating appliances intended for household and similar use. Transitional aspects of regulation are addressed.

This Standard specifies the energy labelling and minimum energy performance standard requirements for electric mains powered refrigerating appliances of the vapour compression type intended for household and similar use. It does not specify safety requirements.In particular, this Standard specifies the following:(a) Projected annual energy consumption (PAEC). (b) Adjusted volume.(c) Comparative energy consumption (CEC).(d) Star rating.(e) Performance criteria for energy label validity.(f) Some of the requirements for energy label validity.(g) Minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for refrigerators and freezers.(h) Test report format and printing requirements for refrigerating appliance energy labels.
