European foreword
This document (EN 50597:2018) was prepared by CLC/TC 59X, "Performance of household and similar
electrical appliances", WG11, "Power consumption of vending machines".
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has (dop) 2019-05-30
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national (dow) 2021-11-30
standards conflicting with this document
have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 50597:2015.
The ambient test conditions have been harmonised with those in other related standards. The order of tests
has been modified to make the testing less time consuming and more efficient. This revised standard
includes an extra category of machine: one divided vertically into two compartments each with different
functions.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association.
Introduction
Vending machines are included in the European Commission’s eco-design study on ENER Lot 12. It is
foreseen that an Ecodesign Regulation implementing Directive 2009/125/EC on the eco-design of energy-
related products will be adopted in the future, and a corresponding standardization request will be issued to
CEN and CENELEC accordingly. The development of the present European Standard was deemed
necessary in order to anticipate the above-mentioned developments.
1 Scope
This document defines methods for the measurement of energy consumption of vending machines, whether
or not fitted with refrigerating appliances.
The standard applies (but is not limited) to the categories shown in Table 1 of machine types.
Table 1 — Vending machine categories
CATEGORY MACHINE TYPE
1 Refrigerated closed fronted can and bottle machines where the products
are held in stacks
2 Refrigerated glass fronted can and bottle, confectionery & snack
machines
3 Refrigerated glass fronted machines entirely for perishable foodstuffs
4 Refrigerated dual-temperature glass fronted machines
5 Confectionery and snack machines that are not refrigerated
6 Combination machines consisting of two different categories of machine
in the same housing and powered by one chiller
The following types of vending machine are excluded from this standard:
— drink machines dispensing hot and/or cold drinks into cups;
— machines with a food heating function;
— vending machines operating at temperatures below 0 °C; or
— any machine including one or more of these compartments.
For verification purposes, it is essential to apply all of the tests specified to a single unit. The tests may also
be made individually for the study of a particular characteristic.
This standard does not deal with any characteristics of machine design other than energy consumption.

3.1 Terms relating specifically to the vending process
3.1.1
automatic defrosting
defrosting where no action is necessary by the user to initiate the removal of frost accumulation and to
restore normal operation
Note 1 to entry: It includes the automatic removal of defrost water.
3.1.2
cabinet
enclosure within a vending machine in which product is held ready to be vended
3.1.3
automatic energy saving mode
mode of a vending machine in which energy reducing measures are automatically applied as a result of
operational controls fitted by the manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: These could include light or movement sensors.
Note 2 to entry: Timers or other controls that can be adjusted by the machine operating company do not qualify as
automatic unless they have a permanent minimum configuration level that cannot be overridden by the machine
operating company, in which case they may be operational for the automatic energy saving mode test at their minimum
configuration.
3.1.4
factory settings
settings that are made in the factory before the machine is sent to the customer, including but not limited to
thermostat settings, defrost cycles and energy saving features
3.1.5
health control cut out function
machines intended entirely for the storage and vending of perishable foodstuffs or with a compartment for
the storage and vending of such foodstuffs shall be fitted with a function that prevents vending of foodstuff if
the machine or compartment experiences a time/temperature condition outside that permitted under food
safety regulations
3.1.6
loading or filling
process of putting products into the vending machine
Note 1 to entry: This may require the door of the machine to be open.
3.1.7
manufacturer’s instructions
instructions that accompany the machine, including advice on installation of the machine at the final
operating location
