Professional refrigerators

Professional refrigeration (PF) includes refrigerators, process chillers, condensing units and blast cabinets that are used and/or accessed by professionals in non-household environments. Their only purpose is to preserve goods or cool processes.

The Ecodesign regulation applies to four PF-appliance groups: storage cabinets (also covered by energy labelling), blast cabinets, condensing units, and process chillers.

Blast cabinets (used to quickly cool or freeze hot food) are subject to information requirements only, while Walk-in cold rooms are not regulated.
