The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) publishes a voluntary energy usage test standard for commercial ice-makers. This standard, based on an earlier ASHRAE test method, determines efficiency using the ice harvest rate, energy use and water use. After receiving ARI certification, the product is added to the Directory of Certified Automatic Commercial Ice Cube Machines and Ice Storage Bins. This database is updated every six months.
