Household and similar electrical appliances –
Safety - Particular requirements for refrigerating
appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice-makers
1 Scope
This clause of GB 4706.1-2005 is replaced by the following.
This Part of GB 4706 deals with the safety of the following appliances, their rated voltage
being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances, 480 V for other appliances and 24
V d.c. for appliances when battery operated.
- refrigerating appliances for household and similar use;
- ice-makers incorporating a motor-compressor and ice-makers intended to be
incorporated in frozen food storage compartments;
- refrigerating appliances and ice-makers for use in camping, touring caravans and
boats for leisure purposes.
These appliances may be operated from the mains, from a separate battery or operated
either from the mains or from a separate battery.
This Part also deals with the safety of ice-cream appliances intended for household use,
their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for
other appliances.
It also deals with compression-type appliances for household and similar use, which use
flammable refrigerants.
This Part does not cover features of the construction and operation of those refrigerating
appliances which are dealt with in other standards.
Refrigerating appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless
may be a source of danger to the public, such as
- refrigerating appliances used in staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other
working environments,
- refrigerating appliances used in farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and
other residential type environments,
- refrigerating appliances used in family inn-type environment, and
- the appliance being operated under normal operation except that user adjustable
temperature controls are set to give the lowest temperature.
Addition:
The appliance is operated for a period of 1 h or the maximum setting of an incorporated
timer whichever is shorter. Excluding starting current, the maximum value of the current
averaged over any 5 min period is obtained. The interval between current measurements
shall not exceed 30 s.
NOTE 101: Starting current is considered to be excluded if the first current measurement is made
approximately 1 min after starting.
10.101 The power input of the defrosting system shall not deviate from the defrosting
power input marked on the appliance by more than the deviation shown in Table 1.
Compliance is checked by operating the appliance at rated voltage and measuring the
power input of the defrosting system after the power input has stabilized.
10.102 The power input of any heating system shall not deviate from the power input of
these systems marked on the appliance by more than the deviation shown in Table 1.
Compliance is checked by operating the appliance at rated voltage and measuring the
power input of the heating system after the power input has stabilized.
11 Heating
This clause of GB 4706.1-2005 is applicable, except as follows.
11.1 Modification:
Compliance is checked by determining the temperature rise of the various parts under the
conditions specified in 11.2 to 11.7.
If the winding temperatures of motor-compressors exceed the values given in Table 101,
compliance is checked by the test of 11.101.
The winding temperatures of motor-compressors conforming to GB 4706.17-2010
(including its Annex AA) are not measured.
11.2 Replacement:
Built-in appliances are installed in accordance with the instructions for installation.
Ice-cream appliances are placed as near to the walls of the test corner as possible, unless
the manufacturer indicates in the instructions for use that a free distance shall be
observed from the walls, in which case, this distance is observed during the test. If means
of ventilation are supplied by the manufacturer, they are mounted as intended.
