This British Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee RHE/19 and is
the English language version of EN 441-3:1994 Refrigerated display cabinets —
Part 3: Linear dimensions, areas and volumes, published by the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN).
EN 441-3:1994 was produced as a result of international discussion in which the
UK took an active part.
This Part of BS EN 441 together with BS EN 441-1 supersedes BS 6148-1:1981

by ISO.
