What is BS EN 4855‑03 about?
BS EN 4855‑03 is the third part of the multi-series of European standards on ECO efficiency of catering equipment in the aerospace series.
BS EN 4855‑03 describes a test procedure to identify performance characteristics and a weight rating of a galley chilling equipment used on aircraft. BS EN 4855‑03 describes a test procedure and efficiency calculations for chilling equipment. Furthermore, BS EN 4855‑03 describes the calculation procedure to determine an energy consumption index and a performance index. Only galley chilling equipment with a freeze function will be considered.
Who is BS EN 4855‑03 for?
BS EN 4855‑03 on ECO efficiency of catering chilling equipment in aerospace series is useful for:
- Refrigeration equipment manufacturers
- Aviation and Mechanical Engineers
- Aviation hospitality professionals
- Catering service providers
- Safety and health departments
Why should you use BS EN 4855‑03?
During aircraft operations, food storage in the cabin is mandatory to maintain the catering on board. There exist different equipment types to cool, freeze or chill any foods or drinks.
BS EN 4855‑03 specifies test procedures to improve the performance characteristics of catering chilling equipment installed in an aircraft to provide or support food and ensure eco-efficiency of catering in an aircraft. BS EN 4855‑03 also provides efficient calculation methods to determine the energy consumption index for aircraft chilling equipment.
BS EN 4855‑03 guidelines enable you to produce chilling equipment that consumes less electric energy and ensures reduced expulsion of hazardous elements and improved durability.
