Refrigerated display cabinets (commercial refrigerators and freezers)
Refrigerated display cabinets are appliances like supermarket display fridges. Some commercial refrigerator compressors are self-contained and others are remote (the motor is at a distance from the fridge). Both types must comply with minimum energy performance standards (MEPS).
Importers and manufacturers may not sell refrigerated display cabinets unless they are tested and comply with the Energy Efficiency (Energy Using Products) Regulations 2002.

Standards
The Standard for refrigerated display cabinets is AS 1731.1-to-13 (2003) - setting out the test methods and AS 1731.14 - 2003 setting out the minimum energy performance standard (MEPS) requirements. The Standards are available at SAI Global.
A discussion document closed in October 2008 on a proposal to align the test method under the existing Standard AS 1731:2003 with the revised International Standards Organisation (ISO) Standard ISO 23953.
