Commercial Refrigerators

Marginal note:Energy-using product

  •  (1) A commercial refrigerator is prescribed as an energy-using product.

  • Marginal note:Limits

    (2) However, a commercial refrigerator is not considered to be an energy-using product

    • (a) for the purposes of sections 4 and 5, unless

      • (i) it is self-contained and manufactured on or after April 1, 2007, or

      • (ii) it is remote-condensing and manufactured on or after January 1, 2012; and

    • (b) for the purpose of section 638, unless

      • (i) it is self-contained, closed and was manufactured on or after April 1, 2007 and before January 1, 2012, or

      • (ii) it is manufactured on or after January 1, 2012.

Marginal note:Energy efficiency standards

  •  (1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 3 of the table to this section apply to commercial refrigerators described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 4.

  • Marginal note:Testing standard

    (2) A commercial refrigerator complies with the energy efficiency standard if it meets that standard when tested in accordance with testing procedures established by the standard set out in column 2 that are applicable to a commercial refrigerator as defined in section 636.
