ELECTRICAL HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR COOLING
AND FREEZING APPLIANCES – FOOD PRESERVATION –
AMENDMENT 1
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 63169:2020 has been prepared by IEC technical subcommittee 59M:
Performance of electrical household and similar cooling and freezing appliances, of IEC
technical committee 59: Performance of household and similar electrical appliances.
The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
59M/174/FDIS 59M/176/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this Amendment is English.

This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications/.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn, or
• revised.
IMPORTANT – The "colour inside" logo on the cover page of this document indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding
of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer.
NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers 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 themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally
not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.

1 Scope
Replace the existing Scope with the following:
This document deals with two food preservation tests. A weight loss test and a condensation
test.
The weight loss test simulates the weight loss of leafy produce, given certain conditions of
temperature, humidity and air movement in one or more test zones. The aim of the test is to
measure the weight loss rate by measuring the weight of a test tray prior to the test and again
after a given duration.
The condensation test simulates condensation produced by real food on surfaces of the test
zone, given certain conditions of temperature, humidity and air movement in one or more test
zones. This test assesses the condensation in refrigerator test zones by using test trays
filled with non-woven fabric to generate condensation, and then evaluates the condensation
extent and distribution.
The weight loss test and condensation test apply to test zones that have an average
operating temperature greater than 0 °C.
Both the weight loss test and condensation test are performed in series and not in parallel on
the same refrigerator.
Both the weight loss test and the condensation test can only be applied to test zones having
all dimensions exceeding 200 mm × 150 mm × 100 mm (L × W × H).

3 Terms and definitions
3.1
test zone
Replace the existing definition with the following:
space inside the refrigeration appliance subject to the weight loss test and the condensation
test
Add the following Notes to entry:
Note 3 to entry: These tests cannot be performed in a compartment that is a non-enclosed space.
Note 4 to entry: The height of the test zone is the lid. If there is no lid, the height is the next horizontal surface
immediately above the test zone.
Add, after 3.5, the following new definitions:
3.6
removable accessory
accessory that is movable, removable, or adjustable by the customer if instructed to do so in
the user instructions to enable a different refrigerator function or configuration to be used
Note 1 to entry: Cleaning is not regarded as a different function so instructions to remove parts for cleaning-only,
do not meet this requirement.
Note 2 to entry: Tools can be required for removal of such parts if so instructed.
3.7
condensation
droplets of water that appear on the cold surfaces of a test zone
3.8
