Specifies methods for the measurement of energy consumption of vending machines, whether or not fitted with refrigerating appliances.

This European Standard defines methods for the measurement of energy consumption of vending machines, whether or not fitted with refrigerating appliances. The European Standard applies (but is not limited) to the following categories of machine types: Table1 Vending machine categories CATEGORY MACHINE TYPE 1 Refrigerated closed fronted can and bottle machines where the products are held in stacks 2 Refrigerated glass fronted can and bottle, confectionery & snack machines 3 Refrigerated glass fronted machines entirely for perishable foodstuffs 4 Refrigerated multi-temperature glass fronted machines 5 Confectionery and snack machines that are not refrigerated For verification purposes all the tests specified need to be applied to a single unit. The tests may also be made individually for the study of a particular characteristic. This European Standard does not deal with any characteristics of machine design other than energy consumption.
