European foreword
This document (prEN 16838:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 44
“Commercial and Professional Refrigerating Appliances and Systems, Performance and Energy
Consumption”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 16838:2019.
This document includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 16838:2019:
— addition of Annex ZA and Annex ZB;
— definition of the split system and relevant method for the measurement of energy consumption.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of
EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZA and ZB, which are
integral parts of this document.
