I doubt that there is a worldwide standard for all refrigerators. After all, it is just numbers painted on a knob, every manufacturer can paint there whatever they please.

You have to measure the temperature to know exactly where you get the optimal 4 Celsius. But even without measuring, you can leave it for a few hours at one end and you will notice if it is too cold or too warm.

Alternatively, just look up the user manual.

  • Consensus seems to indicate that fridge settings are unreliable anyway, and you ought to go by temperature instead: http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/4529/what-temperatures-should-i-keep-my-refrigerator-and-freezer-set-at?rq=1 – logophobe Jun 13 '14 at 17:31
