BS EN 378-2:2016 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 European Standard includes heat pumps.This Part 2 of this Standard is applicable to the design, construction and installation of refrigerating
systems including piping, components and materials. It includes ancillary equipment not covered in
EN 378-1, EN 378-3 or EN 378-4 which is directly associated with these systems. It also specifies
requirements for testing, commissioning, marking and documentation. Requirements for secondary
heat transfer circuits are excluded except for any protection requirements associated with the
refrigerating system. Ancillary equipment includes, for example, fans, fan motors, electrical motors and
transmission assemblies for open compressor systems.This standard applies: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;to secondary cooling or heating systems;to the location of the refrigerating systems;to replaced parts and added components after adoption of this standard if they are not identical in
function and in the capacity.Systems using refrigerants other than those listed in EN 378-1:2016, Annex E are not covered by this
standard.This standard does not apply to goods in storage.This standard 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 standard 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 standard 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 to 4 of the standard shall be assessed.Cross References:EN 378-1:2016EN 378-3:2016EN 378-4EN 809EN 837-1:1996EN 837-2:1997EN 837-3:1996EN 1012-3EN 1092-1EN 1092-3:2003EN 1736:2008EN 1861:1998EN 12178:2003EN 12263:1998EN 12284:2003EN 12693:2008EN 12735-1EN 12735-2EN 12799:2000EN 13136:2013EN 13313:2010EN 13445-1:2014EN 13445-2:2014EN 13445-3:2014EN 13445-4:2014EN 13445-5:2014EN 13445-6:2014EN 13445-8:2014EN 13480-1:2012EN 13480-2:2012EN 13480-3:2012EN 13480-4:2012EN 13480-5:2012EN 13480-6:2012EN 13480-8:2012EN 14276-1:2006+A1:2011EN 14276-2:2007+A1:2011EN 16084:2011EN 60079-15:2010IEC 60079-15:2010EN 60204-1:2006IEC 60204-1:2005EN 60335-1:2012IEC 60335-1:2010EN 60335-2-24:2010IEC 60335-2-24:2010EN 60335-2-34:2013IEC 60335-2-34:2012EN 60335-2-40:2003IEC 60335-2-40:2002EN 60335-2-89:2010IEC 60335-2-89:2010EN 61000-6-1:2007IEC 61000-6-1:2005EN 61000-6-2:2005IEC 61000-6-2:2005EN 61000-6-3:2007IEC 61000-6-3:2006EN 61000-6-4:2007IEC 61000-6-4:2006EN ISO 3744:2010ISO 3744:2010EN ISO 3746:2010ISO 3746:2010EN ISO 4126-1:2013ISO 4126-1:2013EN ISO 4126-2:2003ISO 4126-2:2003EN ISO 4871:2009ISO 4871:1996EN ISO 6708:1995ISO 6708:1995EN ISO 7010:2012ISO 7010:2012EN ISO 10675-1:2013ISO 10675-1:2008EN ISO 10675-2:2013ISO 10675-2:2010EN ISO 11202:2010ISO 11202:2010EN ISO 11688-1:2009TR 11688-1:1995EN ISO 12100:2010ISO 12100:2010EN ISO 13732-1:2008ISO 13732-1:2006EN ISO 13849-1:2015ISO 13849-1:2015EN ISO 13850:2015ISO 13850:2015EN ISO 13857:2008ISO 13857:2008EN ISO 14120:2015ISO 14120:2015EN ISO 17636-1:2013ISO 17636-1:2013EN ISO 17636-2:2013ISO 17636-2:2013EN ISO 17638:2009ISO 17638:2003EN ISO 17640:2010ISO 17640:2010ISO 817:2014ISO 13043:2011ASTM D 4728:2006EN 1779:1999EN 10204:2004EN 12952-2:2011EN 12953-1:2012ENAll current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
