[Current]Refrigerating systems and heat pumps — Safety and environmental requirements, Part 3: Installation site (ISO 5149-3:2014, MOD)
This Standard specifies a simple means of referring to common refrigerants instead of using the chemical name, formula, or trade name. It also establishes a uniform system to be used in assigning the proper reference number and classification to refrigerants. The system for refrigerant classification is defined and physical data of common refrigerants listed.
