Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to

the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 86, Refrigeration and air-conditioning,

Subcommittee SC 7, Testing and rating of commercial refrigerated display cabinets and Technical

Committee CEN/TC 44, Commercial refrigerated cabinets, catering refrigerating appliances and industrial

refrigeration in collaboration.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 23953-2:2015), which has been

technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:

— Scope: the standard is not applicable to commercial beverage coolers covered by ISO 22044, ice

cream freezers covered by ISO 22043;

— Additional extrapolation methods for liquid cooled condensing units, depth, height, length and plug-

in alternative components;
— NEW TYPE: Liquid cooled condensing unit (semi plug-in);
— TDA for new types of cabinets;
— Testing repeatability: improvement;
— Testing: Standard Rating Conditions and Configurations;
— Testing: Mass flow with EEV only, to adapt std to technological improvement;
— Testing: Revised CPEC also for brine / indirect cooling;
— Testing: clarification on requirements for refrigerant with glide;

— Marking, Load limits, Multiple loading line for different M package temperature.

Refrigerated display cabinets —
Part 2:
Classification, requirements and test conditions
1 Scope

This part of ISO 23953 specifies requirements for the construction, characteristics and performance

of refrigerated display cabinets used in the sale and display of foodstuffs. It specifies test conditions

and methods for checking that the requirements have been satisfied, as well as classification of the

cabinets, their marking and the list of their characteristics to be declared by the manufacturer. It is

not applicable to refrigerated vending machines, commercial beverage coolers covered by ISO 22044,

ice cream freezers covered by ISO 22043. It is also not applicable to cabinets intended for storage or

cabinets intended for use, for instance, in catering or non-retail refrigerated applications.

The standard is not intended to specify storage temperature for foodstuff.

4.1.1.1 Strength and rigidity

The cabinet and its parts shall be constructed with adequate strength and rigidity for normal conditions

of handling, transport and use. Attention shall be given to the following:

a) interior fittings, including shelves, baskets, rails, etc. and their supports, shall be sufficiently strong

for the duty required;

b) where sliding shelves, baskets, trays or drawers are fitted they shall retain their shape and ease of

movement when fully loaded;

c) any fitments which are provided with stops to prevent accidental removal shall be self-supporting

when fully loaded and withdrawn to the limit of the stops;
d) stops.
4.1.1.2 Pipes and connections

Pipes and connections to moving or resiliently mounted parts shall be arranged so as not to foul or

transmit harmful vibrations to other parts. All other pipes and connections shall be securely anchored

and sufficient free length and/or vibration eliminators shall be provided to prevent failure due to

fatigue. Where necessary, pipes and valves shall be adequately thermally insulated.

4.1.1.3 Condensate drainage

Where drains, drip trays or evaporation receptacles are fitted, they shall have ample capacity.

NOTE Drains, drip trays or evaporation receptacles are intended to be easily accessible and cleanable.

Any condensate or defrost water receptacle, or group of receptacles, requiring to be emptied manually

shall have a capacity equivalent to at least 48 h of normal operation in the appropriate climate class for

which the cabinet is intended.
4.1.1.4 Closed refrigerated cabinets (self-service type)
Closed refrigerated cabinets shall meet certain special requirements as follows.
Hinged lids and doors shall be opened by different angles of at least 60°.

Transparent doors and lids shall be condensate-free at the climate class specified by the manufacturer.

Door fasteners and hinges under normal conditions of use shall be smooth and positive in action and

designed to function properly without undue wear.

When any doors or lids provided to ensure an air seal to the refrigerated space are closed, there shall be

no undue leakage of ambient air into the interior.
The doors or lids shall not open of their own accord.

The gasket shall be made from a material whose characteristics are compatible with the operating

conditions (especially temperatures). If the fastening device is mechanical, a stop or other means shall

be provided to prevent the gasket from being excessively deformed.

All construction joints and seams within the net volume shall prevent the accumulation of potentially

contaminating substances.

All construction joints and seams within the net volume shall permit the easy removal of any deposits

of potentially contaminating substances.
4.1.1.6 Sneeze guard

The front façade constitutes a guard against risks of contamination emanating from consumers through
