The guide provides a detailed framework for the pre-qualification of solar direct drive (SDD) refrigerators and freezers. These devices are crucial for the storage of temperature-sensitive health products, especially in areas with unreliable electricity. The document emphasizes the importance of ensuring that these SDD refrigerators and freezers meet specific performance, quality, and safety standards before they are procured by international agencies for deployment in the field.
The introduction highlights the role of solar direct drive technology in addressing the challenges of maintaining the cold chain in regions with inconsistent power supply. The guide categorizes the equipment into different types, such as ice-lined refrigerators, freezers, and combined units.
The procedural section delves into the specifics of the pre-qualification process. It outlines the steps manufacturers must follow, from the initial application to the submission of a comprehensive product dossier. This dossier undergoes a thorough evaluation to ensure the product meets the set criteria. The document also touches upon the verification process, the potential outcomes of the evaluation, and the importance of maintaining the pre-qualified status.
In essence, the guide serves as a roadmap for manufacturers aiming to achieve pre-qualification for their SDD refrigerators and freezers, ensuring they align with global standards for efficiency and reliability.
