CAN/CSA-C742-15 (R2020) PDF Download

The CSA Group created a collection of guidelines and specifications known as the CAN/CSA-C742-15 (R2020) standard. It replaces earlier iterations that were released in 2008, 1998, and 1994 because it is the fourth edition of the standard. The standard was created in accordance with the Standards Council of Canada's guidelines for Canadian National Standards.

The scope of the standard covers automatic factory icemakers with a maximum capacity of 1814 kg/24 hours, measured under rating-standard conditions. These icemakers may generate a variety of ice in batches or continuously, including cube, flake, crushed, nugget, and fractured ice. They are electrically powered and intended for nominal nameplate voltage at 60 Hz operating current.

The requirement also covers free-standing and built-in manual-scoop-out ice storage bins. It outlines specifications and test methods for water and energy consumption, as well as storage efficiency. The standard applies to split-system icemakers, which have separate portions for the ice-making mechanism and condensing unit, as well as self-contained icemakers, where the ice-making mechanism and storage compartment are combined in one cabinet. These icemakers' condensers can be either water- or air-cooled.

However, icemakers installed in home refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, or freezers are exempt from the norm. Additionally, it excludes cold-plate beverage dispensers and automatic ice dispensers.

In order to provide information and allow for comparison, the standard uses the SI (International System of Units) for measurement units. The standard is also compatible with other pertinent standards, including ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 29 and AHRI 810/811, 820/821, and 810.
