GB/T 28009-2025Code of safety practice for cold store (English PDF)

1 Scope

This document establishes a comprehensive safety management procedure for cold storage facilities, from design to dismantling, and specifies the procedures for cold storage design, equipment selection and configuration, and other related aspects.

The document describes the safety management requirements for the construction, operation, and dismantling phases of cold storage facilities, as well as the transition conditions between these phases.

Practical methods.

This document applies to cold storage buildings (cold rooms) primarily used for low-temperature food storage, employing artificial refrigeration for cooling and possessing cold preservation functions.

Safety management of the construction, expansion, renovation, operation and demolition of indoor prefabricated cold storage facilities.

Note. There are two different types of cold storage (cold rooms). building-type cold storage/cold rooms (GB 50072) and equipment-type indoor prefabricated cold storage (SB/T 10797).

When making distinctions, they are collectively referred to as "cold storage" or "cold room". When further distinctions are needed, they are referred to as "building-type cold storage (cold room)" and "indoor prefabricated cold storage".
