  "heading": "CALCULATION OF THE EQUIVALENT VOLUME",
  "text": "The equivalent volume of a household refrigerating appliance is the sum of the equivalent volumes of all compartments. It is calculated in litres and rounded to the nearest integer as:\nVeq=∑c=1c=nVc×25 −Tc20× FFc× CC × BIwhere:\nn is the number of compartments\nVc is the storage volume of the compartment(s)\nTc is the nominal temperature of the compartment(s) as set out in Table 2\n25 −Tc20 is the thermodynamic factor as set in Table 5\nFFc , CC and BI are volume correction factors as set out in Table 6.\nThe thermodynamic correction factor 25 −Tc20 is the temperature difference between the nominal temperature of a compartment Tc (defined in Table 2) and the ambient temperature under standard test conditions at + 25 °C, expressed as a ratio of the same difference for a fresh-food compartment at + 5 °C.\nThe thermodynamic factors for the compartments described in Annex I, points (i) to (p), are set out in Table 5.",
