This British Standard specifies the construction, the methods of calculating internal volumes and shelf areas, and the method of determining performance of refrigerated storage cabinets of the closed reach-in type, for commercial use in catering and similar applications. The cabinets are intended for use in climates having dry bulb temperatures and relative humidities from 16 °C and 80 % to 40 °C and 40 %.

The approximate limits of internal temperatures intended to be covered by this standard are between − 30 °C and + 10 °C.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
