refrigerator- freezers
Evaluation Criteria 1
Energy consumption rate does not exceed the result, rounded down to eliminate decimals, of the standard energy
consumption rate calculated using the formula for each category listed in Table multiplied by 100165.
2 Substances that harm the ozone layer is not used as refrigerant
or expanding agent for insulation. 3
Hydro-fluorocarbon so-called CFC alternative is not used as refrigerant or expanding agent for insulation.
4 Content information of specific chemical substances lead,
mercury, cadmium, chromium VI compound, PBB, PBDE can be easily obtained on websites and labels.
Factors for Consideration 1
Refrigerant and expanding agent for insulation with a global warming potential that is as low as possible.
2 The item is designed with consideration for long-term use and
conservation of resources. It should be designed so that it can be easily dismantled and its materials separated to facilitate
refurbishment and reuse, based on the evaluation criteria of the Law to Promote Effective Use of Resources.
3 The item is made of as large amount of recycled plastic as
possible if plastic components are used. 4
Organic solvent or paint with as low odor as possible is used as coating.
5 Packaging and stowage is to be as simple as possible and take
into account ease of recycling and reduced environmental impact upon disposal.
6 A system for the collection and reuserecycling of packaging,
etc. is considered.
Note: 1.
Electric refrigerators, electric freezers, and electric refrigerator-freezers that meet any
of the following criteria will not be considered as Electric refrigerators, Electric freezers, or Electric refrigerator-freezers under consideration in the evaluation
criteria of this section.
a. Those that use thermo-element.
b. Those that were manufactured for professional use.
c. Those that use an absorber.
2. Labeling of content information of specific chemical substances will be indicated in
accordance with JIS C 0950:2008 The marking for presence of the specific chemical substances for electrical and electronic equipment. Item 4 in Evaluation Criteria
does not apply to Electric freezers.
3.
Recycled plastic denotes part or all of plastic once used as a part of a useful product
that has been discarded, remnants discarded during the manufacturing process, or the recyclereuse of defective articles This excludes, however, plastic that has been
92 recycled in the process of manufacturing the product.
4. In order to manage chemical substances adequately, each procurement organization is
to manage and maintain content information of specific chemical substances until the machine is discarded.
5. Evaluation Criteria 1 will be assumed as follows.
a. As for Refrigerators with a rated internal volume is up to 250
93 storage area aside from the freezer room, and round the decimals up if five
or more and down if four or less. unit: L V2: Adjusted internal volume to the standard internal volume of the freezer,
multiply 2.20 for three-star type freezer, 1.87 for two-star type freezer, and 1.54 for one-star type freezer, and round the decimals up if five or more
and down if four or less. unit: L
