4 Requirements
4.1 Reference temperature and time of test food
Blast chillers shall bring the test food from an initial reference temperature of +65 °C to a final
temperature of +10 °C within a test time of 120 min.
Blast freezers shall bring the test food from an initial reference temperature of +65 °C to a final
temperature of −18 °C within a test time of 270 min.
For blast chillers, the temperature of the coldest M-pan, measured at the end of the test, shall be higher
than –1 °C.
NOTE In some European countries specific hygiene requirements apply, in addition.
4.2 Test time
The test time is the time between:
— T0, time when the average temperature of the test food in the M-pans is equal to the initial
reference temperature; and
— T, time when the temperature of the test food in all M-pans reaches the final reference
f
temperature.
The measured time is rounded to the full minute.
5 Test conditions
5.1 Test room
−1
Tests shall be carried out in a test room capable of maintaining a temperature of 30 °C °C to one
+5
decimal place.
The measuring point shall be located opposite to the hinges of the door of the blast cabinet, 500 mm
upstream of the blast cabinet, in line with the front of the cabinet at a vertical height that is half the
blast cabinet height (including cabinet feet and fixings).
No specific requirement on relative humidity is applicable.
5.2 Blast cabinet selection, installation and positioning within the test room
Each blast cabinet intended to be tested, unless a prototype, shall be selected from stock or routine
production and shall be representative as to construction and adjustment. The blast cabinet, including
all components required for normal operation, shall be assembled, set up and sited as it would be
installed in service as far as practicable and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. All
permanently located accessories required for normal use shall be in their respective places. Blast
cabinets shall be placed against a wall of the test room or a vertical partition having a length of at least
1 m on the side of the test room temperature measuring point, 0,5 m on the opposite side and an height
of at least 0,5 m more than the cabinet under testing at a distance from the rear as specified in the
instructions for use (see Figure 1).
