Abstract
Kigali Amendment to Montreal Protocol, European F-Gas regulation as well as similar legislation in other parts of the planet, in order to mitigate climate change, are going to limit the usage of high GWP refrigerants in next few years in majority of categories of commercial refrigeration applications. Except CO2, all known alternatives with low GWP, are flammable in some extend. For last five years, intense activity on existing safety standards update, took place and many standards update is still in progress. This paper will summarize present state of international and regional standardization for commercial refrigeration and describe the impact of implemented changes on commercial stand alone cabinets design and testing.
