NO This guidelines document provides a voluntary framework to support the adoption of off-grid refrigerating appliances in developing and emerging economies by promoting quality assurance, energy efficiency, climate-friendly refrigerants, and improved product performance. It defines the scope, technical requirements, testing methodologies, energy performance criteria, labelling, repairability, packaging, and eligibility requirements for residential and light commercial appliances operating on off-grid electricity systems. The document also outlines recommended performance tests, energy consumption calculations, and reporting procedures to support procurement, certification, and incentive programmes. An annex presents worked examples illustrating the methodology for calculating annual energy consumption and energy efficiency performance for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers
