| ICS 27.200; 97.130.20 | MED 03 |
1 SCOPE
1.1 This standard specifies the general construction, performance, safety, and methods of testing of pressure and storage type drinking water coolers up to and including 225 l/h cooling capacity and up to and including 550 litre storage capacity. This standard covers the water coolers with rated voltage not exceeding 240 V, 50 Hz a.c. for single phase and 415 V, 50 Hz a.c. for three phase including units with fixed speed and variable speed compressors.
1.2 The recommended drinking water requirements for various types of services given in Annex B is for information only.
1.3 This standard does not apply to:
a) Bottled water dispenser which is covered under a separate standard, that is, IS 17681 and;
b) Water coolers of bubble type, which may employ bottle or container for storing supply of water to be cooled. Hereafter, the word ‘water cooler’ used throughout this standard would refer to drinking water cooler.
NOTES
1 This standard specifies rated capacity as per prevailing market demand in India.
2 Water coolers of higher capacity incorporating builtin water purifier is under consideration.
