The standard applies (but is not limited) to the categories shown in Table 1 of machine types.
The following types of vending machine are excluded from this standard:
— drink machines dispensing hot and/or cold drinks into cups;
— machines with a food heating function;
— vending machines operating at temperatures below 0 °C; or
— any machine including one or more of these compartments.
For verification purposes, it is essential to apply all of the tests specified to a single unit. The tests may also be made individually for the study of a particular characteristic.
This standard does not deal with any characteristics of machine design other than energy consumption.
