- introduces an enhanced flexing test;
- introduces requirements for accessible glass panels;
- clarifies tests for appliances using flammable refrigerants. Theattention of national Committees is drawn to the fact that equipmenmanufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselfs for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content othis publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication. This consolidated version consists of the seventh edition (2010) and its amendment 1 (2012). Therefore, no need to orderamendment in addition to this publication.
