A few days ago, the new standards for refrigeration equipment EN 60335-2-24:2010/A1:2019 and EN 60335-2-24:2010/A2:2019 have been published on CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), which will be published in July 2019 It came into effect on the 11th. At that time, the new standard: EN 60335-2-24:2010/A1:2019+A2:2019 will also be mandatory to replace EN 60335-2-24:2010.

Products involved:

Household refrigerators, household freezers, household refrigerator-freezers, car refrigerators, water dispensers, household ice machines, commercial ice machines, commercial vending machines/coffee machines with cooling function.

Standard interpretation:

EN 60335-2-24:2010/A1:2019 adds the following content on the basis of IEC 60335-2-24:2012/A1:2012:

1. The third chapter of the standard adds the definition of refrigerator, one-star room, two-star room and three-star room, which is the same as the energy consumption standard of refrigerator EN 62552:2013;

2. Some contents need to be added in the manual (modify bulb information, flammable signs, warning information and electrical pressure relief device);

3. Structural increase:

Ice cream equipment and ice machines should have accessible switches to stop all functions

Use lubricants to not contaminate food compartments

All food contact surfaces should be durable and cleanable, and inner corners should be effectively cleaned

The internal water distribution system should be easy to clean

The contents of EN 60335-2-24:2010/A2:2019 and IEC 60335-2-24:2012/A2:2017 are the same. The contents of this part of the standard are as follows:

1. Some content needs to be added in the manual;

2. Changes to the test method in Chapter 15 of the standard;

3. Structure: Redefine the surface temperature limit of flammable refrigerant, in which the temperature of mainstream refrigerant R600a is adjusted from 494 degrees to 460 degrees;

A new requirement for impact testing of accessible glass panels, with an impact energy of 1,00 J.

The bending test of the conductor of the built-in ice maker is increased to 50,000 cycles

The new requirements for connecting nuts used in hose sets are marked up to 25°C

The motor running capacitor should not cause danger when the capacitor fails

4. In terms of materials: 30.2.101 added the material test of the refrigerator non-metal back panel.
