Overview
This International Standard deals with the safety of electrical recovery and/or recycle equipment to recover and/or recycle refrigerant from air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by service personnel in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. The appliances referenced above may consist of one or more factory made assemblies. If provided in more than one assembly, the separate assemblies are to be used together, and the requirements are based on the use of matched assemblies. The scope of application for equipment used to recover and/or process refrigerant is limited to air-conditioning, heat-pumps and refrigeration equipment incorporating open drive or motor-compressors. Proper recovery of used refrigerant. Recycling and processing of refrigerant.
