Scope:

1.            Develop a new standard for WICF components (panels, doors and refrigeration systems) and include MEPS to align with DOE procedures and levels.

2.            This new Standard would not apply to components of WICF designed and marketed exclusively for medical, scientific, or research purposes

3.            Fully harmonized with DOE, including final rule provisions that will come up from the July 29, 2016 pre-publication;

4.            Follow the accelerated  “Path 1”

Project need:

There is no CSA Test Standard for Walk-in Coolers and Freezers (WICF). A Walk-in Coolers and Freezer test Standard is needed in order to have a common test procedure with which all manufacturers can rate their products and to support the Regulator Co-operative Council (RCC) initiative.
