THE APPLICABILITY OF ISO 5151 AND ISO 8187 TEST CONDITION FOR AIR CONDITIONER AND HOUSEHOLD REFRlGERATOR IN MALAYSIA
Keywords:
Air conditioning, refrigerator, lest conditions, test procedure, ratings.Abstract
Malaysia is adopting the minimum energy efficiency standard for
room air conditioner and household refrigerator, therefore, the
test procedures for rating and testing must be established.
Laboratory testing and certification are the important parts of
introducing the minimum energy efficiency standard for these
appliances. The requirements for the specific country must be
clarified before setting the standard. This paper is an analysis of
the applicability of ISO 5151 and ISO 8187 air conditioner and
refrigerator test condition in Malaysia. The analysis was made
based on climatic conditions that prevail in Malaysia. Today, since
there is a trend in international harmonization of appliance
standard, this paper can be considered as a support of the
purpose. Afew internationaltest standards were also given.
