European foreword
This document (EN 62552-1:2020/A11:2024) has been prepared by CLC/TC 59X, “Performance of household
and similar electrical appliances”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2025-02-02
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2027-08-02
conflicting with this document have to be

This document is read in conjunction with EN 62552-2:2020 and EN 62552-3:2020 and their amendments.
EN 62552-1:2020:
a) Annex B: requirements to test enclosures for built-in, built under and under counter appliances more
specified.
b) Annex F: test report adjusted for freezing capacity test data.
c) Annex ZA: Final test report adjusted.
Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes which are additional to those in IEC 62552-1:2015 are
prefixed “Z”.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

1 Modifications to the “Introduction”
Replace the last paragraph with:
“This document was developed in relationship with Regulation (EU) 2019/2016 of 11.03.2019 and its
amendments on energy labelling and Regulation (EU) 2019/2019 of 01.10.2019 and its amendments on
ecodesign for refrigerating appliances.”
2 Modifications to Clause 3, “Terms, definitions and symbols”
In 3.1, “General terms and definitions” add the following term entry:
“3.1.Z12
mobile refrigerating appliance
refrigerating appliance that can be used where there is no access to the mains electricity grid and that uses
extra low-voltage electricity (< 120V DC) or fuel or both as the energy source for the refrigeration functionality,
including a refrigerating appliance that, in addition to extra low voltage electricity or fuel, or both, can be electric
mains operated”
3 Modifications to Clause 5, “Marking”
In 5.1, “Rating information”, replace list item e) with the following:
“e) for four-star appliances or appliances with four-star compartments the rated freezing capacity in kg/24 h”
4 Modifications to Annex B, “Preparation of an appliance for testing and general
measurement procedures”
In B.2.3.3 “Built-in appliances” replace the sixth paragraph with the following:
“If necessary, the test enclosure shall be provided with ventilating openings according to the instructions,
provided that these ventilation openings are limited to:
— the front side of the test enclosure for refrigerating appliances intended to be placed under a counter;
— the front, rear-bottom and top side of the test enclosure for other built-in appliances.
These limitations do not apply to absorption type of refrigerating appliances (where refrigeration is based on an
absorption process using heat as an energy source).”
In B.2.3.3 “Built-in appliances” replace the last paragraph with the following:
“To prevent airflow, the junction between the sides and back and between the sides and top and between sides
and bottom of the test enclosure shall be in close contact and sealed.”
In B.2.5.2 “Variable temperature compartments” replace list item d) with the following:
“d) For the energy consumption, water vapour condensation and ice-making capacity test (EN 62552-2 and
EN 62552-3), the variable temperature compartment shall operate in that setting which has the lowest operating
temperature for the energy consumption test as set out in Table 2 of EN 62552-2:2020”.
In B.2.5.2 “Variable temperature compartments” delete the sentence following list item d).
At the end of B.2.5.2 “Variable temperature compartments” add the following note:
“
Note Z1 This modification is aligned with the definition in IEC 62552-1:2015/AMD1:2020”
5 Modifications to Annex D, “Determination of compartment average air
temperatures”
Replace the content of D.2.4.6 “Low height compartments, sub-compartments or convenience features” with
the following content:
“For unfrozen compartments/sub-compartments or convenience features where the full height (h1) is 300 mm
or less and this is less than 0,7 of either the width (measured at the door sealing surface) or the maximum depth
(between the door sealing surface and back wall), the temperature sensors shall be located in positions as
shown in Figure D.3 b). In cases where the width or depth is greater than 700 mm, the positions shown in
Figure D.3 b) shall also be used if the ratio of full height (h1) to either depth or width is less than 0,6.
For frozen compartments/sub-compartments where the full height (h1) is 200 mm or less and the volume is
