Overview
EN 60704-2-14:2013/A1:2019 (IEC 60704-2-14:2013/A1:2019) is a CENELEC/CENELEC-endorsed amendment that sets particular requirements for the determination of airborne acoustical noise from refrigerators, frozen-food storage cabinets and food freezers. This amendment updates measurement guidance, normative references and defined terms to improve repeatability and applicability of A-weighted noise assessments for household and similar refrigerating appliances.
Key Topics
- Scope and status: Amendment A1 modifies EN 60704-2-14:2013 and was approved in 2019; national adoption dates and withdrawal timelines are defined by CENELEC.
- Running period: A running period is defined as the interval from compressor start to compressor stop. If the compressor runs longer than 4 h, behaviour can be classed as aperiodic.
- Measurement timing: The A-weighted, time-averaged sound pressure level is measured from 1 minute after the start of the running period to its end. If no specific running period is detected, a 30-minute measurement interval starting at an arbitrary time within a running period applies.
- Repetition and averaging: Three consecutive measurements are required on three consecutive running periods. If differences exceed 2 dB between any two measurements, three additional measurements are performed and the final result is the logarithmic mean of all six.
- Microphone array and distance: For floor-standing cabinet appliances placed against a wall, a 10-microphone parallelepiped array is specified; the preferred measurement distance d is 1 m. Microphone position no. 7 is recommended for time histories and spectra.
- Temperature note: A specified air temperature (approximately −22 °C) corresponds to a test package temperature of about −18 °C as measured per IEC 62552-2.
Applications
This standard and its amendment are essential for:
- Product noise testing during development and validation of household refrigerating appliances.
- Regulatory compliance, procurement specifications and conformity assessment for sound emissions.
- Comparative noise declarations and verification according to EN/IEC test codes.
- Acoustic lab procedures where reproducible, A-weighted sound pressure measurements are required.
Manufacturers, test laboratories and regulatory authorities use these requirements to ensure consistent measurement practice and meaningful comparison of appliance noise performance.
Related Standards
- IEC 60704-3 - Procedure for determining and verifying declared noise emission values.
- ISO 3743-1, ISO 3744 - Reverberation-room and free-field engineering methods referenced for measurement applicability.
- IEC 62552-1 / -2 / -3 - Household refrigerating appliances: general, performance and energy/volume test methods (listed in the amendment bibliography).
These referenced documents provide the measurement infrastructure and calibration practices that support EN 60704-2-14:2013/A1:2019. For laboratories and manufacturers, apply EN 60704-2-14 together with the cited ISO/IEC procedures to achieve robust and repeatable airborne acoustical noise results.
