Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Safety and environmental requirements - Part 3: Installation site and personal protection; German and English version prEN 378-3:2025

Abstract

This document specifies the requirements for the safety of persons and property, provides guidance for the protection of the environment and establishes procedures for the operation, maintenance and repair of refrigerating systems and the recovery of refrigerants. The term "refrigerating system" used in this document includes heat pumps. This document is applicable to the installation site (plant space and services). It specifies requirements on the site for safety, which may be needed because of, but not directly connected with, the refrigerating system and its ancillary components. This document applies: a) to refrigerating systems, stationary or mobile, of all sizes except to vehicle air conditioning systems covered by a specific product standard e.g. ISO 13043:2011; b) to secondary cooling or heating systems; c) to the location of the refrigerating systems; d) to replaced parts and added components after adoption of this document if they are not identical in function and in the capacity. Systems using refrigerants other than those listed in of prEN 378‑5:2026, are not covered by this document. This document does not apply to goods in storage.
