What is BS EN 4855‑01 about?
BS EN 4855‑01 is the first part of the multi-series of European standards on ECO efficiency of catering equipment in the aerospace series. BS EN 4855‑01 defines the test procedures and calculations to determine the ECO efficiency of the following catering equipment installed in an aircraft:
- Chilling equipment (with freeze function)
- Ovens (steam and convection ovens)
- Beverage makers (coffee maker, water heater)
The purpose of BS EN 4855‑01 is to standardize the test procedures and calculations to determine the ECO efficiency for catering equipment installed in the aircraft.
Who is BS EN 4855‑01 for?
BS EN 4855‑01 on ECO efficiency of catering equipment is useful for:
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Airlines service providers
- Hygiene and quality department
- Safety and health departments
Why should you use BS EN 4855‑01?
The main goals for a competitive and environmentally friendly operation are to reduce weight, fuel consumptions and thus to lower the costs leading to a more sustainable aircraft.
BS EN 4855‑01 specifies test procedures to improve the performance characteristics of catering equipment installed in an aircraft to provide food and ensure eco-efficiency of catering in aircraft. BS EN 4855‑01 also provides efficient calculation methods to determine the energy consumption index for aircraft catering equipment.
BS EN 4855‑01 guidelines enable you to produce aircraft catering equipment that consumes less electric energy and ensures reduced expulsion of hazardous elements and improved durability.
