Overview

This European Standard applies to prefabricated walk-in cold room kits and components. It provides test or calculation methods to assess thermal insulation performances under normal end-use conditions. Performance characteristics of walk-in cold rooms are to be assessed in terms of thermal insulating properties, in order to give a basis on which assessing energy consumption related properties of walk-in cold rooms, and of their components. Performance characteristics are to be assessed for every single component of the walk-in cold room, and for the assembled walk-in cold room as a whole. The normal end-use conditions of a walk-in cold room are considered to be: - installation inside an existing building; - not exposed to external weather conditions. With German collaboration this document (EN 16855-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 44 "Commercial and Professional Refrigerating Appliances and Systems, Performance and Energy Consumption", the secretariat of which is held by UNI (Italy). Working Committee NA 044-00-01 AA "Sicherheit und Umweltschutz" ("Safety and environment protection") at DIN Standards Committee Refrigeration Technology (FNKä) is responsible for the German collaboration.
