DIN EN 13732:2013-10

This European Standard specifies requirements for design, performance, safety and hygiene of refrigerated bulk milk coolers and the related methods of test. This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to bulk milk coolers on farms, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It applies to refrigerated bulk milk tanks with air cooled condensing units and automatic control intended for installation on farms or at milk collecting points. It applies to tanks for two milkings (24 h), four milkings (48 h) and six milkings (72 h), in which the cooling takes place totally (non-pre-cooled milk) or partially (in case of pre-cooled milk) within the tank. This document (EN 13732:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 153 "Machinery intended for use with foodstuffs and feed", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. Regarding the German collaboration Working Committee NA 044-00-13 AA "Milchkühlanlagen" ("Bulk milk coolers") at the Refrigeration Technology Standards Committee (FNKä) is responsible.
