Israel: Updated standard for refrigerators

 

Israel has published a revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 62552 part 1, dealing with household refrigerating appliances. This proposed standard revision adopts the European Standard EN 62552-1: April 2020, with a few national deviations that appear in the standard’s Hebrew section as follows:

• Adds Section 201 – Changes to Section 4 dealing with classifications;
• Adds to Annex ZB a few national normative references.

Both the old standard and this new revised standard will apply from entry into force of this revision for a period of two years. During this time, products may be tested according to the old or the new revised standard.

An additional deviation is the marking requirement.  As the standard says, anyone who manufactures a product that meets the requirements of the Israeli standards applicable to it, may, according to a permit from the Israeli Standards Institute, mark his product with the Israeli Standards symbol.

The standard is available HERE.
