COCH conducts comprehensive testing of refrigeration furniture: energy efficiency, functionality and compliance with applicable standards and regulations. The results help manufacturers, distributors and end users confirm that refrigeration equipment meets quality and safety requirements.

At COCH we conduct comprehensive testing of refrigerated furniture — energy efficiency, cooling performance, temperature stability, energy consumption and noise level.
The standards used include, among others, European Commission (EU) Regulations 2015/1094 and 2015/1095, which address energy labeling and eco-design of refrigeration equipment. In addition, EN ISO standards specify detailed requirements for measurement and testing methods, which guarantees the reliability and consistency of test results. Conducting these tests and obtaining reports from COCH confirms regulatory compliance, supports energy-efficiency improvements and provides access to expert analysis.
Assessment of refrigerated furniture based on classification, requirements and test conditions of PN-EN 23953-2.
Determination of the refrigerating (cooling) capacity of the installation under defined operating conditions.
Temperature trials simulating and analysing operating conditions — including temperature distribution and stability inside the cabinet.
Primarily used in grocery stores for storing and displaying fresh products such as meat, deli items, cheese and fish.
Used for displaying and storing chilled products in self-service stores, providing easy access for customers.
Used in retail and gastronomy for products that require low temperatures — beverages, dairy and frozen foods.
Used to display food in restaurants, cafés and patisseries, where cooling function and product presentation both matter.

Analysis of energy consumption under various operating conditions — to assess efficiency and identify opportunities to reduce operating costs.
How effectively the appliance maintains the required temperatures, so stored products remain fresh for as long as possible.
Whether the appliance holds a constant temperature inside the refrigerated space, regardless of ambient conditions and usage intensity.
Measurement of electricity used over a 24-hour period — important for store owners and food-service businesses seeking lower operating costs.
Evaluation of the noise generated by the appliance. A low noise level matters for customer and staff comfort where the unit is installed.
Verification that the appliance meets applicable national and European standards and legal requirements.
