Appliances used in homes and businesses, freezers are made to very low temperatures in order to store and preserve a variety of perishable goods. They are essential for minimizing food waste, offering convenience, and facilitating extended storage of different products. Food, such as meat, vegetables, fruits, and cooked meals, may be frozen and kept in freezers for extended periods of time. Freezers come in several varieties, each with unique features and benefits. These include upright freezers, chest freezers, and walk-in commercial freezers. Homes, supermarkets, restaurants, and other establishments that deal with food all utilize them extensively. By eliminating heat from the storage compartment, freezers provide a sub-zero environment that inhibits the growth of bacteria and slows down the natural deterioration of food. For freezer use to be both efficient and successful, proper organization and temperature control are essential.
According to IS standard IS 7872:2020, all freezers are now covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
This standard describes the construction specifications and testing methods, including type tests for performance, for evaluating the efficiency and capacity of freezers. According to the standard, freezers ought to be strong and durable enough to withstand normal handling, use, and transportation. This pertains to freezers that have storage capacity ranging from fifty to one thousand liters.

The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products.
