In addition to the legal texts, the section includes Commission communications, studies, FAQs, and more. The database contains the most recent publications but also allows you to go back in time.The regulation sets minimum energy efficiency and performance requirements for electric mains-operated refrigerating appliances intended for the direct sale or display of items, including non-food products. Manufacturers must ensure compliance with product-specific testing standards, information obligations, and labelling rules. The regulation also defines various subcategories, including beverage coolers, corner cabinets, saladettes, and serve-over counters, with tailored requirements for each type.
