Commission Regulation (EU) No 2015/1095.
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the construction, characteristics, performance
including energy consumption of blast cabinet for professional used in commercial kitchens, hospitals,
canteens, institutional catering and similar professional areas.
The appliances covered by this European Standard are intended to rapidly cool down hot foodstuffs up
to a load capacity of 300 kg.
This European Standard applies to:
— blast chillers;
— blast freezers;
— multi-use blast chillers/freezers.
The following appliances are not covered:
— roll-in cabinet;
— pass-through cabinet;
— cabinets with remote condensing unit;
NOTE Specific requirements for roll-in cabinets, pass-through cabinets and cabinets with remote condensing
unit are under discussion.
— cabinets with water cooled condenser;
— blast chilling and freezing tunnels;
— continuous blast-chilling and blast-freezing equipment;
— bakery combined freezing and storage units.
2 Normative references
Not applicable.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
blast cabinet
insulated refrigerating appliance primarily intended to rapidly cool down hot foodstuff
3.1.1
blast chiller
blast cabinet intended to rapidly cool down hot foodstuff to below +10 °C
3.1.2
blast freezer
blast cabinet intended to rapidly cool down hot foodstuff to below −18 °C
Note 1 to entry: Blast freezers are also able to operate as blast chillers.
Note 2 to entry: Different full load capacity may be claimed depending on the mode of operation for chilling or
freezing considered.
3.2
built-in condensing unit
appliance in which the refrigeration unit is an integral part of the cabinet
3.3
remote condensing unit
appliance in which the compressors, condensers and liquid receivers (when required) are not supplied
with the cabinet
3.4
reach-in blast cabinet
appliance which can accommodate shelves, trays or pans
3.5

4 Requirements
4.1 Reference temperature and time of test food
Blast chillers shall bring the test food from an initial reference temperature of +65 °C to a final
temperature of +10 °C within a test time of 120 min.
Blast freezers shall bring the test food from an initial reference temperature of +65 °C to a final
temperature of −18 °C within a test time of 270 min.
For blast chillers, the temperature of the coldest M-pan, measured at the end of the test, shall be higher
than –1 °C.
NOTE In some European countries specific hygiene requirements apply, in addition.
4.2 Test time
The test time is the time between:
— T0, time when the average temperature of the test food in the M-pans is equal to the initial
reference temperature; and
— T, time when the temperature of the test food in all M-pans reaches the final reference
f
temperature.
The measured time is rounded to the full minute.
5 Test conditions
5.1 Test room
−1
Tests shall be carried out in a test room capable of maintaining a temperature of 30 °C  °C to one
+5
decimal place.
The measuring point shall be located opposite to the hinges of the door of the blast cabinet, 500 mm
upstream of the blast cabinet, in line with the front of the cabinet at a vertical height that is half the
blast cabinet height (including cabinet feet and fixings).
No specific requirement on relative humidity is applicable.
5.2 Blast cabinet selection, installation and positioning within the test room
Each blast cabinet intended to be tested, unless a prototype, shall be selected from stock or routine
production and shall be representative as to construction and adjustment. The blast cabinet, including
all components required for normal operation, shall be assembled, set up and sited as it would be
installed in service as far as practicable and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. All
permanently located accessories required for normal use shall be in their respective places. Blast
cabinets shall be placed against a wall of the test room or a vertical partition having a length of at least
1 m on the side of the test room temperature measuring point, 0,5 m on the opposite side and an height
of at least 0,5 m more than the cabinet under testing at a distance from the rear as specified in the
instructions for use (see Figure 1).
