1 Scope
This European Standard applies only to condensing units for refrigeration and describes a number of
selected performance test methods. These methods provide sufficiently accurate results for the
determination of the refrigerating capacity, power absorbed, refrigerant mass flow and the coefficient
of performance.
This European Standard applies only to performance tests conducted at the manufacturer's works or
wherever the instrumentation and load stability for testing to the accuracy required is available.

4 Uncertainty of measurement and test conditions

4.1 Uncertainty of performance data

Measuring instruments shall be selected and calibrated so that the final result is within the maximum
uncertainties of the measured value as indicated:
— refrigerating capacity: ± 2,5 %,

— electrical power absorbed: ± 1 % and

— mechanical power absorbed: ± 2,5 %.

4.2 Uncertainty of measurement

Uncertainty values are considered to cover a 95 % confidence interval, i.e. ± 2 times the standard
deviation. Except where otherwise stated in the particular clauses, measurements shall be carried out
within the maximum uncertainty of the measured value as given in Table 3.
