IEC/SC 59M - Performance of electrical household and similar cooling and freezing appliances
Standardization in the field of performance of electrical household and similar cooling and freezing appliances such as refrigerators, frozen-food storage cabinets and food freezers. To elaborate characteristics and test methods for performance, environmental issues and accessibility. This includes specifying the essential characteristics for commercial refrigerating appliances cooled by internal natural convection or forced air circulation, which are factory assembled, laying down the methods of test for the checking of these characteristics.
Aptitude à la fonction des appareils électrodomestiques de refroidissement et analogues et appareils de réfrigération
Normalisation dans le domaine de l’aptitude à la fonction des appareils électrodomestiques de refroidissement et analogues et des appareils frigorifiques tels que les réfrigérateurs, les conservateurs de denrées congelées et les congélateurs. Elaboration des caractéristiques et des méthodes d'essai pour l’aptitude à la fonction, les questions environnementales et l'accessibilité. Cela inclut la spécification des caractéristiques essentielles pour les appareils de réfrigération à usage commercial refroidis par une convection interne naturelle ou par une circulation d’air forcée, qui sont assemblés en usine, avec détermination des méthodes d'essai pour la vérification de ces caractéristiques.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
