EN 62552-1:2020

Household refrigerating appliances - Characteristics and test methods - Part 1: General requirements

IEC 62552-1:2015 specifies the essential characteristics of household refrigerating appliances, cooled by internal natural convection or forced air circulation, and establishes test methods for checking the characteristics. For the purposes of declaration, the tests defined in this part of IEC 62552 are considered to be type tests to assess the fundamental design and operation of a refrigerating appliance. This part of IEC 62552 does not define requirements for production sampling or conformity assessment or certification. This part of IEC 62552 does not define a regime for verification testing as this varies by region and country. When verification of the performance of a refrigerating appliance of a given type in relation to this standard is necessary, it is preferable, wherever practicable, that all the tests specified be applied to a single unit. The tests can also be made individually for the study of a particular characteristic. IEC 62552-1, -2 and -3 cancel and replace the first edition of IEC 62552 published in 2007. IEC 62552-1, -2 and -3 constitute a technical revision and includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 62552:2007: a) All parts of the standard have been largely rewritten and updated to cope with new testing requirements, new product configurations, the advent of electronic product controls and computer based test-room data collection and processing equipment. b) In Part 1 (this part) there are some changes to test room equipment specifications and the setup for testing to provide additional flexibility especially when testing multiple appliances in a single test room.

Haushaltskühlgeräte - Eigenschaften und Prüfverfahren - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen

Appareils de réfrigération à usage ménager - Caractéristiques et méthodes d'essai - Partie 1: Exigences générales

L'IEC 62552-1:2015 spécifie les caractéristiques essentielles des appareils de réfrigération à usage ménager, refroidis par convection naturelle interne ou par circulation d'air forcé, et établit les méthodes d'essai pour la vérification des caractéristiques. Pour les besoins de la déclaration, les essais définis dans la présente partie de l'IEC 62552 sont considérés comme étant des essais de type visant à évaluer la conception et le fonctionnement de base d'un appareil de réfrigération. La présente partie de l'IEC 62552 ne définit pas les exigences en matière d'échantillonnage de production ou d'évaluation ou de certification de la conformité. La présente partie de l'IEC 62552 ne définit pas le régime d'essais de vérification, lesquels varient selon la région et le pays. Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de vérifier les performances d'un appareil de réfrigération d'un type donné, en liaison avec la présente Norme internationale, il est préférable, dans la mesure du possible, que tous les essais spécifiés soient appliqués à un seul appareil. Ces essais peuvent être également effectués séparément pour l'étude d'une caractéristique particulière. L'IEC 62552-1, l'IEC 62552-2 et l'IEC 62552-3 annulent et remplacent la première édition de l'IEC 62552 publiée en 2007. L IEC 62552-1, l'IEC 62552-2 et l'IEC 62552-3 constituent une révision technique et incluent les modifications techniques suivantes par rapport à l'IEC 62552:2007: a) Toutes les parties de la norme ont été largement réécrites et mises à jour pour tenir compte des nouvelles exigences d'essai, des nouvelles configurations du produit, de l'apparition de nouvelles commandes de produit électronique et d'équipements informatiques de collecte et de traitement de données de salle d'essai. b) Dans la Partie 1 (la présente partie) les modifications ont été apportées aux spécifications en matière d'équipement de salle d'essai, ainsi qu'au montage d'essai, afin d'apporter une souplesse supplémentaire, plus particulièrement lors des essais de plusieurs appareils dans une seule salle d'essai.
