Freezers of the chest type, of a capacity <= 800 l (HS code(s): 841830); Freezers of the upright type, of a capacity <= 900 l (HS code(s): 841840)

Proposal for Amendments to the Legal Inspection Requirements for Freezers; (4 page(s), in Chinese), (5 page(s), in English)

At present, only upright freezers of which the storage volume does not exceed 400L are in the scope of mandatory inspection of BSMI. However, the storage volume of commercial upright freezers has increased. Upright freezers with storage volume not exceeding 700L become popular in the market. In addition to that, horizontal freezers are also getting popular among consumers recently. As a result of risk assessment, BSMI proposes to add upright and horizontal freezers with storage volume not exceeding 700L into the scope of legal inspection.
