CSA C300-12

Abstract

This Standard applies to compact and household refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, freezers, wine chillers, and hybrid wine chillers that are electrically operated on a 60 Hz alternating current with a nominal supply voltage of 115 V. <br>This Standard applies to <br>(a) refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers with a maximum capacity of 1100 L (39 ft³); <br>(b) freezers with a maximum capacity of 850 L (30 ft³); and <br>(c) wine chillers and hybrid wine chillers with a maximum refrigerated volume of 1100 L (39 ft³). <br>The requirements in this Standard are not applicable to electrically operated refrigerators using an absorption refrigeration system. <br>In CSA standards, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard. <br>Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. <br>Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. <br>Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (nonmandatory) to define their application. <br>The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.
