commercial freezer

commercial freezer means a freezer that is self-contained or remote-condensing, that uses or is designed to be used with a vapour-compression refrigeration system and whose compartments are all designed for the freezing and display or storage of food, beverages or ice at temperatures below 0°C. It does not include a household freezer or walk-in freezer. (congélateur commercial)

commercial refrigerator

commercial refrigerator means a refrigerator that is self-contained or remote-condensing, that uses or is designed to be used with a vapour-compression refrigeration system and whose compartments are all designed for the display or storage of food, beverages or flowers at temperatures at or above 0°C.

pull-down temperature reduction capability means the capability of a commercial refrigerator, when it is situated in an area that has an ambient temperature of 32.22˚C and when it is fully loaded with 355 mL beverage cans that are at a temperature of 32.22˚C at the time of loading, to cool those cans to an average stable temperature of 3.33˚C in 12 hours or less. (capacité d’abaisser la température)

TDA

TDA means the total display area of a product, expressed in square metres. (TDA)

transparent

transparent means

  • (a) in respect of a refrigerated compartment of a commercial refrigerator, commercial refrigerator-freezer or commercial freezer, that it is closed and has a TDA that is at least 75% of the geometrically projected area of the refrigerated space on the plane of the face with the largest access space; and

  • (b) in respect of a commercial refrigerator, commercial refrigerator-freezer or commercial freezer, that all of its compartments are as described in paragraph (a). (transparent)
