Overview

The scope of this European Standard is to define the classification for horizontal closed ice-cream freezer with access of the product from the top and to specify their requirements and test methods. These appliances are different to supermarket segment freezers, as they work with static air cooling, with a skin evaporator (no evaporator fan) and are used specifically for the storage and display of pre-packed ice-cream. This standard is only applicable to integral type refrigeration systems. This standard is not applicable to remote and secondary system type cabinets. Ice-cream freezers within this standard should have a net volume ≤ 600 l and only for transparent lid ice cream freezers they should have a net volume/TDA ≥ 0,35 m. This document (EN 16901:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 44 "Commercial and professional refrigerating appliances and equipment, performance and energy consumption", the secretariat of which is held by UNI (Italy). Regarding the German collaboration, the responsible committee is Working Committee NA 044-00-07 AA "Gewerbe- und Verkaufskühlmöbel" ("Refrigerated commercial and display cabinets") at DIN Standards Committee Refrigeration Technology (FNKä).
