DIN 8976:2017-03

This standard applies to the performance testing of compressor driven refrigerating systems (hereafter referred to as refrigerating systems) that operate according to the principle of vapour compression and consist of the circuit parts for compression, expansion, condensation and evaporation as well as the connecting pipes and any necessary associated ancillaries required for a complete refrigeration circuit. This standard does not apply to the testing of other refrigeration systems such as absorption or steam jet refrigerating systems. Testing of the suitability of a refrigerating system for a specific use, such as household refrigerators, refrigerated commercial and display cabinets, air conditioners, is not covered by this standard.
