Household Refrigerating Appliances– Refrigerators (Direct Cool & Frost Free): Classic Testing facility is also proud to mention that it is one of credible & independent testing Lab for Domestic Refrigerators the test facility for Domestic Refrigerators in Direct Cool (IS 1476 Pt-1 & Frost Free (IS 15750:2006; Category It is among the very limited independent test labs in India to be able to test as per the current National & International Standards that also covers the specified requirements of Standard & Labeling program of Bureau of Energy Efficiency(BEE).Looking into the adoption of new specifications of Domestic Refrigerators by BIS as per IS 17550 part 1,2&3 based on IEC, Classic Lab has already operationalized its state–of-the-art,
walk-in Environmental Test Chamber, Control Panel and Data Acquisition System with customized operating software for measurements of specified test parameters and acquisition of test of results.
This new test setup has the largest capacity for testing six refrigerators simultaneously and independently. The lab is actively pursuing to get NABL accreditation as per IS/ISO/IEC 17025 specification. The same environmental chamber will also have facilities to test Commercial Refrigerators, Deep Freezers, Medical freezers, Bottle Coolers, icemakers and similar refrigerating appliances. This will also serve the needy customers after notification of Quality Control Order (QCO) of BIS where domestic refrigerating appliances (Refrigerators & Deep freezers) will be under the mandatory scheme WEF 01 July 2023.
The current setup of Classic lab is limited to test two samples at a time and looking into the growing demand, need was felt to add-on new facility particularly after adoption of new IS 17550 by BIS. The same standard has been adopted by Bureau of Energy Efficiency(BEE), GoI in its Standard & Labeling (S&L)program for Energy Rating of refrigerators where both the category of Direct Cool(DCR) & Frost free Refrigerators(FFR) will be tested under the same standard. Currently Classic Lab has been empaneled by BEE to verify Energy Star ratings.
Domestic Washing Machines: Classic Lab has become one of the limited independent the accredited Labs in India to have established the credible test facility as per International Standards (IEC 60456-Ed. 5) as per current Indian Standards (IS 14155) & IEC 60456 ED.5. It is capable to perform various specified Performance Tests of different Category & Capacity of Domestic Washing Machines.
