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 part of EN 378 specifies the classification and selection criteria applicable to refrigerating systems. These classification and selection criteria are used in Parts 2, 3 and 5. This document applies to: a) refrigerating systems, stationary or mobile, of all sizes except to vehicle air conditioning systems covered by a specific product standard e.g. [7] b) secondary cooling or heating systems; c) the location of the refrigerating systems; d) 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 Part 5 of this standard are not covered by this document. Clause 7 specifies how to determine the refrigerant quantity safety limit in a given space, which, when exceeded, requires additional protective measures to reduce the risk. This document is not applicable to refrigerating systems which were manufactured before the date of its publication as a European Standard except for extensions and modifications to the system which were implemented after publication. This document is applicable to new refrigerating systems, extensions or modifications of already existing systems, and for existing stationary systems, being transferred to and operated on another site. This document also applies in the case of the conversion of a system to another refrigerant type, in which case conformity to the relevant clauses of Parts 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the standard is expected to be assessed. Product family standards dealing with the safety of refrigerating systems take precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
