2 Definitions
Add, after definition 2.2.9.3, the following new definition:

2.2.9.4
normal operation of an ice-cream appliance

operation of the appliance using the maximum quantity of the mixture of ingredients indicated

in the instructions. The mixture used being that which gives the most unfavourable results, the

mixture being at an initial temperature of 23 °C ± 2 °C
Replace definition 2.109 by the following:
2.109
flammable refrigerant
refrigerant with a flammability classification of group 2 or 3 according to ISO 5149
NOTE For refrigerant blends which have more than one flammability classification the most unfavourable
classification is taken for the purpose of this definition.
Add, after definition 2.109, the following new definitions:
2.110
ice-cream appliance
compression-type appliance which is used to make ice-cream
2.111
free space
space with a volume exceeding 60 l where a child can be entrapped and which is accessible
after opening any door, lid or drawer and removing any detachable internal part, including
shelves, containers or removable drawers which are themselves only accessible after opening
any door or lid. In calculating the volume, a space with any single dimension not exceeding
150 mm or any two orthogonal dimensions each of which do not exceed 200 mm is ignored.

4 General conditions for the tests

4.3 Replace the first paragraph by:
Before starting the tests:
– ice-cream appliances are operated empty at rated voltage for 1 h or the maximum setting
of an incorporated timer, whichever is shorter;
– other compression-type appliances shall be operated at rated voltage for at least 24 h,
then switched off and left to stand for at least 12 h.

4.7 Replace the first paragraph by:

For ice-cream appliances, tests specified in clauses 10, 11 and 13 are carried out at an

ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 2 °C.

For other appliances, tests specified in clauses 10, 11, 13 and subclause 19.103 are carried

out at an ambient temperature of:

32 °C ± 1 °C on appliances of extended temperate (SN) and temperate (N) classes;

38 °C ± 1 °C on appliances of subtropical (ST) class;

43 °C ± 1 °C on appliances of tropical (T) class;
Before starting these tests, the appliance with the doors or lids open is brought to within 2 K of
