It is difficult to measure Wf if the evaporator fans are driven by an external motor, in this particular case the\n                                             enthalpy method is not recommended. When the fans are driven by internal electric\n                                             motors, the electrical power is measured by appropriate instruments with an accuracy\n                                             of \u00b1 3%, with refrigerant flow measurement being accurate to \u00b1 3%.\n\nThe heat balance is given by the formula:\n\nWo = (ho - hi) m - Wf.\n\n4.3.3 \nPrecautions\n\nAs the tests for effective refrigerating capacity are carried out with the thermostat\n                                             of the refrigeration unit disconnected, the following precautions shall be observed:\n\nIf the equipment has a hot gas injection system, it shall be inoperative during the\n                                             test;\n\nwith automatic controls of the refrigeration unit which unload individual cylinders\n                                             (to tune the capacity of the refrigeration unit to motor output) the test shall be\n                                             carried out with the number of cylinders appropriate for the temperature.\n\n4.3.4 \nChecks\n\nThe following should be verified and the methods used indicated on the test report:\n\n(i) the defrosting system and the thermostat are functioning correctly;\n\n(ii) the rate of air circulation shall be measured using an existing standard.\n\nIf the air circulation of a refrigeration unit\u2019s evaporator fans is to be measured,\n                                                   methods capable of measuring the total delivery volume shall be used. Use of one of\n                                                   the relevant existing standards, i.e. ISO 5801: 2017 and AMCA 210-16 is recommended;\n\n(iii) the refrigerant used for tests is that specified by the manufacturer.\n\n4.4 Test result\n\n4.4.1 The refrigeration capacity for ATP purposes is that relating to the mean temperature\n                                             at the inlet(s) of the evaporator. The temperature measuring instruments shall be\n                                             protected against radiation.\n\n4.5 Procedure for testing mechanically refrigeration units if there is a change of refrigerants\n\n4.5.1 General principles\n\nThe test is in line with the procedure described in section 4, paragraphs 4.1 to 4.4\n                                             and based on a complete test of the refrigeration unit with one refrigerant, the reference\n                                             refrigerant.\n\nThe refrigeration unit, its refrigeration circuit and the components of the refrigeration\n                                             circuit shall not be different when using replacement refrigerants. Only very limited\n                                             modifications are permitted that are:\n\n\u2022 Modification and change of expansion device (type, setting);\n\n\u2022 Exchange of the lubricant;\n\n\u2022 Exchange of gaskets.\n\nMaking it a retrofit refrigerant, a replacement refrigerant must have thermo-physical\n                                             and chemical properties similar to the reference refrigerant and shall result in a\n                                             similar behaviour in the refrigeration circuit especially in terms of refrigerating\n                                             capacities.\n\n4.5.2 Test procedure\n\nDue to the similar behaviour of the retrofit and the reference refrigerants the number\n                                             of tests necessary for a type approval can be reduced. In terms of refrigerating capacity\n                                             the retrofit refrigerants must comply with a criterion of equivalence which allows\n                                             an at maximum 10 % lower refrigerating capacity for the retrofit refrigerant when\n                                             compared with the approved reference refrigerant.\n\nThe criterion of equivalence is defined by the formula:\n\nwhere:\n\nis the refrigerating capacity of the unit tested with the reference refrigerant,\n\nis the refrigerating capacity of the unit tested with the retrofit refrigerant,\n\nThe number of tests and the evaluation of the retrofit refrigerants is based on the\n                                             differences in test results when compared with the reference refrigerant. At least\n                                             a test at the lowest and at the highest temperature of the respective temperature\n                                             class in the mode of drive with the highest refrigerating capacities has to be carried\n                                             out.\n\nIn the case of a range of refrigeration units the test program may be further reduced\n                                             according to paragraph 4.5.3.\n\nDependent on the results of these tests further measurements may be necessary. Distinctions\n                                             are made for the following cases:\n\n\u2022 \nStrict equivalence: is the case when the difference between the refrigerating capacities of the retrofit\n                                                   refrigerant is lower than or equal to 10 % less at all tested temperatures of the\n                                                   respective temperature class when compared to the reference refrigerant. In the case\n                                                   of higher or up to 5 % lower refrigerating capacities, the refrigerating capacities\n                                                   of the reference refrigerant can be kept in the test report of the retrofit refrigerant.\n                                                   In the case of more than 5 % lower refrigerating capacities, the refrigerating capacities\n                                                   of the retrofit refrigerant may be calculated based on the test results.\n\n\u2022 \nRestricted equivalence: is the case when at least at one tested temperature of the respective temperature\n                                                   class the difference between the refrigerating capacities of the retrofit refrigerant\n                                                   is less than or equal to 10 % lower when compared to the reference refrigerant. In\n                                                   this case a further measurement at an intermediate temperature as specified by the\n                                                   manufacturer is necessary in order to confirm the tendency of the deviation and to\n                                                   calculate the refrigerating capacities of the retrofit refrigerant based on the test\n                                                   results.\n\nIf the power consumption tested with the retrofit refrigerant deviates from the results\n                                             obtained with the reference refrigerant, the data of power consumption shall be adjusted\n                                             according to the measured values by means of calculation, as well in case of strict\n                                             as in case of restricted equivalence.\n\n4.5.3 Test procedure for a range of refrigeration units\n\nA range of refrigeration units describes a model range of a specific type of refrigeration\n                                             units of different sizes and different refrigerating capacities but with the same\n                                             setup of refrigeration circuit and same type of components of the refrigeration circuit.\n\nIn case of a range of refrigeration units a further reduction of tests is possible.\n\nIf at least two refrigeration units of the range including the units with the smallest\n                                             and the highest refrigerating capacities tested with the retrofit refrigerant have\n                                             been proven by the test procedure described in 4.5.2 to be equivalent to the results\n                                             of the approved reference refrigerant, test reports for all other units of this range\n                                             of refrigeration units may be established by calculating the refrigerating capacities\n                                             based on the test reports of the refrigerating units operating with the reference\n                                             refrigerant and based on this limited number of tests with the retrofit refrigerant.\n\nThe conformity of the tested refrigeration units and each other regarded refrigeration\n                                             unit with the range of refrigeration units has to be confirmed by the manufacturer.\n                                             In addition, the competent authority shall take adequate measures to verify that each\n                                             regarded unit is in conformity to this range of refrigeration units.\n\n4.5.4 Test report\n\nAn addendum containing both, the test results of the retrofit refrigerant and the\n                                             approved reference refrigerant, shall be added to the test report of the refrigeration\n                                             unit operated by a retrofit refrigerant. All modifications of the refrigerating unit\n                                             according to 4.5.1 have to be documented in this addendum.\n\nIn case the refrigerating capacities and maybe also the power consumption of the refrigeration\n                                             unit containing the retrofit refrigerant have been established by calculation, the\n                                             procedure of calculation has to be described in this addendum too.\n\nFor the purpose of checking the insulating capacity of each piece of equipment in\n                                       service as prescribed in appendix 1, paragraphs 1 (b) and 1 (c), to this annex, the competent authorities may:\n\nApply the methods described in paragraphs 2.1.1 to 2.3.2 of this appendix; or\n\nAppoint experts to assess the fitness of the equipment for retention in one or other\n                                       of the categories of insulated equipment.

During certain operations, such as defrosting the evaporator of mechanically refrigerated\n                                             equipment, a brief rise of the temperature of the surface of the foodstuffs of not\n                                             more than 3\u00b0 C in apart of the load, e.g. near the evaporator, above the appropriate\n                                             temperature may be permitted.\n\nIce cream .........................................................\n\n- 20\u00b0 C\n\nFrozen or quick (deep)-frozen fish, fish products, molluscs and crustaceans and all\n                                                            other quick (deep)-frozen foodstuffs ..................................\n\n- 18\u00b0C\n\nAll other frozen foodstuffs (except butter) ..................................\n\n- 12\u00b0C\n\nButter ....................................................................\n\n- 10\u00b0C\n\nDeep-frozen and frozen foodstuffs, mentioned below to be immediately further processed\n                                             at destination:8\n\nButter\n\nConcentrated fruit juice\n\nThe transport equipment shall be fitted with an instrument capable of measuring and\n                                       recording air temperatures and storing the data obtained (hereinafter referred to\n                                       as the instrument) to monitor the air temperatures to which quick-frozen foodstuffs\n                                       intended for human consumption are subjected.\n\nThe instrument shall be verified in accordance with EN 13486:2002 by an accredited\n                                       body and the documentation shall be available for the approval of ATP competent authorities.\n\nThe instrument shall comply with standard EN 12830:2018.\n\nTemperature recorders in service that comply with EN 12830:1999 may continue to be\n                                       used.\n\nTemperature recordings obtained in this manner must be dated and stored by the operator\n                                       for at least one year or longer, according to the nature of the food.\n\nA. General considerations\n\n1. Inspection and measurement of temperatures stipulated in Annexes 2 and 3 should be carried out so that the foodstuffs are not exposed to conditions detrimental\n                                             to the safety or quality of the foodstuffs. Measuring of food temperatures should\n                                             be carried out in a refrigerated environment, and with the minimum delays and minimum\n                                             disruption of transport operations.\n\n2. Inspection and measurement procedures, as referred to in paragraph 1, shall preferably\n                                             be carried out at the point of loading or unloading. These procedures should not normally\n                                             be carried out during transport, unless serious doubt exists about the conformity\n                                             of the temperatures of the foodstuffs stipulated in Annexes 2 and 3.\n\n3. Where possible, the inspection should take account of information provided by temperature\n                                             monitoring devices during the journey before selecting those loads of perishable foodstuffs\n                                             for sampling and measurement procedures. Progression to temperature measurement of\n                                             the food should only be undertaken where there is reasonable doubt of the temperature\n                                             control during carriage.\n\n4. Where loads have been selected, a non-destructive measurement (between-case or between-pack)\n                                             should at first be used. Only where the results of the non-destructive measurement\n                                             do not conform with the temperatures laid down in Annexes 2 or 3 (taking into account allowable tolerances) are destructive measurements to be carried\n                                             out. Where consignments or cases have been opened for inspection, but no further action\n                                             has been taken, they should be resealed giving the time, date, place of inspection,\n                                             and the official stamp of the inspection authority.\n\nB. Sampling\n\n5. The types of package selected for temperature measurement shall be such that their\n                                             temperature is representative of the warmest point of the consignment.\n\n6. Where it is necessary to select samples during transport whilst the consignment is\n                                             loaded, two samples should be taken from the top and bottom of the consignment adjacent\n                                             to the opening edge of each door or pair of doors.\n\n7. Where samples are taken during unloading of the consignment, four samples should be\n                                             chosen from any of the following locations:\n\ntop and bottom of the consignment adjacent to the opening edge of the doors;\n\ntop rear corners of the consignment (ie furthest away from the refrigeration unit);\n\ncentre of the consignment;\n\ncentre of the front surface of the consignment (ie closest to the refrigeration unit);\n\ntop or bottom corners of the front surface of the consignment (ie closest to the return\n                                                   air intake of the refrigeration unit).\n\n8. In the case of chilled foods in Annex 3, samples should also be taken from the coldest location to ensure that freezing has\n                                             not occurred during transportation.\n\nC. Temperature measurement of perishable foodstuffs\n\n9. The temperature measuring probe should be precooled to as close to the product temperature\n                                             as possible before measurement.\n\nI. Chilled foods\n\n10. \nNon-destructive measurement. Measurement between-case or between-pack should be made with a probe with a flat\n                                             head, which gives a good surface contact, low thermal mass, and high thermal conductivity.\n                                             When placing the probe between the cases or food packs, there should be sufficient\n                                             pressure to give a good thermal contact, and sufficient length of probe inserted to\n                                             minimise conductivity errors.\n\n11. \nDestructive measurement. A probe with a rigid, robust stem and sharpened point should be used, made from a\n                                             material which is easy to clean and disinfect. The probe should be inserted into the\n                                             centre of the food pack, and the temperature noted when a steady reading is reached.\n\nII. Frozen and quick-frozen foods\n\n12. \nNon-destructive measurement. Same as paragraph 10.\n\n13. \nDestructive measurement. Temperature probes are not designed to penetrate frozen foods. Therefore it is necessary\n                                             to make a hole in the product in which to insert the probe. The hole is made by a\n                                             precooled product penetration instrument, which is a sharp pointed metallic instrument\n                                             such as an ice punch, hand drill or an auger. The diameter of the hole should provide\n                                             a close fit to that of the probe. The depth to which the probe is inserted will depend\n                                             on the type of product:\n\n(i) where product dimensions allow, insert the probe to a depth of 2.5 cm from the surface\n                                                   of the product;\n\n(ii) where (i) is not possible because of the size of the product, the probe should be\n                                                   inserted to a minimum depth from the surface of 3 to 4 times the diameter of the probe;\n\n(iii) it is not possible or practical to make a hole in certain foods because of their size\n                                                   or composition, eg diced vegetables. In these cases, the internal temperature of the\n                                                   food package should be determined by insertion of a suitable sharp-stemmed probe to\n                                                   the centre of the pack to measure the temperature in contact with the food.\n\nAfter inserting the probe, the temperature should be read when it has reached a steady\n                                             value.\n\nD. General specifications for the measuring system\n\n14. The measuring system (probe and read-out) used in determining temperature shall meet\n                                             the following specifications:\n\n(i) the response time should achieve 90% of the difference between the initial and final\n                                                   reading within three minutes;\n\n(ii) \n9 the system must have an accuracy of \u00b1 0.5\u00b0C within the measurement range \u2013 20\u00b0C to\n                                                   + 30\u00b0C;\n\n(iii) \n10 the measuring accuracy must not change by more than 0.3\u00b0C during operation in the\n                                                   ambient temperature range \u2013 20\u00b0C to + 30\u00b0C;\n\n(iv) the display resolution of the instrument should be 0.1\u00b0C;\n\n(v) \n11 the accuracy of the system should be checked at regular intervals;\n\n(vi) the system should have a current certificate of calibration from an approved institution;\n\n(vii) the electrical components of the system should be protected against undesirable effects\n                                                   due to condensation of moisture;\n\n(viii) the system should be robust and shock proof.\n\nE. Allowable tolerances in the measurement of temperature\n\n15. Certain tolerances should be allowed in the interpretation of temperature measurements:\n\n(i) \noperational \u2013 in the case of frozen and quick-frozen foods, a brief rise of up to 3\u00b0C on the\n                                                   temperature permitted in Annex 2 is allowed for the surface temperature of the food.\n\n(ii) \nmethodology \u2013 non-destructive measurement can give up to a maximum of 2\u00b0C difference in the reading\n                                                   compared to the true product temperature measurement, especially with the thickness\n                                                   of cardboard in case packaging. This tolerance does not apply to the destructive measurement\n                                                   of temperature.\n\n[Wijziging(en) op nader te bepalen datum(s); laatste bekendgemaakt in 2000.

For the carriage of the following chilled foodstuffs, the transport equipment has\n                                             to be selected and used in such a way that during carriage the highest temperature\n                                             of the foodstuffs at any point of the load does not exceed the indicated temperature.\n                                             If, however the verification of the temperature of the foodstuff is carried out, it\n                                             shall be done according to the procedure laid down in Appendix 2 to Annex 2 to this Agreement.\n\n2.  Accordingly, the temperature of the foodstuffs at any point in the load must not\n                                             exceed the temperature as indicated below on loading, during carriage and on unloading.\n\n3.  Where it is necessary to open the equipment, e.g. to carry out inspections, it is\n                                             essential to ensure that the foodstuffs are not exposed to procedures or conditions\n                                             contrary to the objectives of this Annex and those of the International Convention on the Harmonization of Frontier Controls of Goods.\n\n4.
