Requirements for performance, testing and marking for closed reach-in type refrigerators, constructed in accordance with BS 2501, intended for the storage of whole blood and red cell components at a temperature of 4°C≠2°C.

This Part of BS4376 specifies particular requirements for performance, testing and marking for refrigerators of the closed reach-in type, constructed in accordance with BS2501, which are intended for the storage of whole blood and red cell components at a temperature of 4±2°C1). The refrigerators are for use in climates having dry bulb temperatures and relative humidities, respectively, from 16°C and 80%r.h. to 40°C and 40%r.h.

This Part of BS4376 does not apply to the storage of blood grouping reagents.

This Part of BS4376 does not apply to refrigerated vehicle mounted blood storage facilities.

NOTE1 It is recommended that, except for very small storage capacity requirements, separate refrigerators should be provided for stock blood and for cross-matched blood reserved for particular individuals.

NOTE2 It is important that refrigerators for storage of whole blood and red cell components should be used exclusively for that purpose.

NOTE3 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
