UNE-EN 50597:2019

This European Standard defines methods for the measurement of energy consumption of vending machines, whether or not fitted with refrigerating appliances.

The standard applies (but is not limited) to the categories shown in Table 1 of machine types.

Table 1 Vending machine categories

CATEGORY MACHINE TYPE

1 Refrigerated closed fronted can and bottle machines where the products are held in stacks

2 Refrigerated glass fronted can and bottle, confectionery & snack machines

3 Refrigerated glass fronted machines entirely for perishable foodstuffs

4 Refrigerated dual-temperature glass fronted machines

5 Confectionery and snack machines that are not refrigerated

6 Combination machines consisting of two different categories of machine in the same housing and powered by one chiller

For verification purposes, all of the tests specified are to be applied to a single unit. The tests may also be made individually for the study of a particular characteristic.

This standard does not deal with any characteristics of machine design other than energy consumption.
