Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Safety and environmental requirements - Part 4: Operation, maintenance, repair and recovery

The scope of EN 378-1:2008 is applicable.
This European Standard specifies requirements for safety and environmental aspects in relation to operation, maintenance, and repair of refrigerating systems and the recovery, reuse and disposal of all types of refriger-ant, refrigerant oil, heat transfer medium, refrigerating system and part thereof.
These requirements are intended to minimise risks of injury to persons and damage to property and the envi-ronment resulting from improper handling of the refrigerants or from contaminants leading to system break-down and resultant emission of the refrigerant.
Certain clauses and subclauses of this European Standard are not applicable to unit systems self contained systems and systems built on site which operate with charges of refrigerant up to 3 kg of refrigerant.
These subclauses are 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1.1 to 5.1.4, 5.2, 5.3.1, 5.3.3 and 6.6.
For these systems, the necessary maintenance has to be described in the instruction manual and should
repairs be necessary, contact the nearest authorised repair service centre.

Kälteanlagen und Wärmepumpen - Sicherheitstechnische und umweltrelevante Anforderungen - Teil 4: Betrieb, Instandhaltung, Instandsetzung und Rückgewinnung

Es gilt der Anwendungsbereich von EN 378-1:2008+A2:2012."-
Dieser Teil 4 der Europäischen Norm legt Anforderungen fest zu den sicherheitstechnischen und umweltrelevanten
Aspekten bei Betrieb, Instandhaltung und Instandsetzung von Kälteanlagen und bei der
Rückgewinnung, Wiederverwendung und Entsorgung aller Arten von Kältemitteln, Kältemittelöl,
Wärmeträgern, der Kälteanlage sowie Teilen der Kälteanlage.
Diese Anforderungen haben den Zweck, Verletzungsgefahren für Personen sowie Schäden an Sachen und
der Umwelt zu minimieren, die sich aus unsachgemäßem Umgang mit Kältemitteln ergeben oder durch
Verunreinigungen, die zu einem Ausfall der Anlage und nachfolgender Kältemittelemission führen.
Bestimmte Abschnitte und Unterabschnitte in diesem Teil 4 gelten nicht für betriebsfertige Kältesätze,
Kältesätze und vor Ort errichtete Anlagen, die mit Kältemittel-Füllmengen bis zu 3 kg betrieben werden.
Dies sind die Unterabschnitte 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.3, 5.1.1 bis 5.1.4, 5.2, 5.3.1, 5.3.3 und 6.6.
Für diese Anlagen müssen die erforderlichen Instandhaltungsmaßnahmen im Bedienungs-Handbuch
beschrieben werden und bei anfallenden Instandsetzungsarbeiten ist der nächstliegende zugelassene
Wartungsdienst zu kontaktieren.

Systèmes de réfrigération et pompes à chaleur - Exigences de sécurité et d'environnement - Partie 4: Fonctionnement, maintenance, réparation et récupération

Le domaine d’application de l’EN 378-1:2008+A2:2012 est applicable.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences en matière de sécurité et d'environnement relatives au
fonctionnement, à la maintenance, à la réparation des systèmes de réfrigération et à la récupération, réutilisation et
mise au rebut de tous les types de fluides frigorigènes, d’huiles de systèmes de réfrigération, de fluides caloporteurs,
de systèmes de réfrigération et de parties de ceux-ci.
Ces exigences sont destinées à minimiser les risques de blessures aux personnes et de dommages aux biens et à
l'environnement résultant d'une mauvaise manutention des fluides frigorigènes ou de polluants entraînant une panne
du système et l'émission consécutive de fluide frigorigène.
Certains articles et paragraphes de la présente Norme européenne ne sont pas applicables aux systèmes monoblocs
et systèmes fabriqués sur le site qui fonctionnent avec une charge de fluide frigorigène inférieure à 3 kg.
Ces paragraphes sont 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1.1 à 5.1.4, 5.2, 5.3.1, 5.3.3 et 6.6.
Pour ces systèmes, les opérations de maintenance nécessaires doivent être décrites dans un manuel d'instructions
et, lorsque des réparations sont nécessaires, il convient de contacter le centre de réparation habilité le plus proche.

Hladilni sistemi in toplotne črpalke - Varnostnotehnične in okoljevarstvene zahteve - 4. del: Delovanje, vzdrževanje, popravilo in recikliranje

Uporablja se področje uporabe standarda EN 378-1:2008+A2:2012. Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za varnostnotehnične in okoljevarstvene vidike v zvezi z delovanjem, vzdrževanjem in popravilom hladilnih sistemov ter recikliranjem, ponovno uporabo in odstranjevanjem vseh vrst hladil, hladilnih olj, sredstev za prenos toplote, hladilnih sistemov in njihovih delov. Namen teh zahtev je čim bolj zmanjšati tveganja za poškodbe oseb ter škodo na premoženju in v okolju, ki bi lahko nastala zaradi nepravilnega ravnanja s hladili ali zaradi onesnaževalcev, ki bi povzročili odpoved sistema in posledično uhajanje hladila. Nekatere točke in podtočke tega evropskega standarda se ne uporabljajo za sisteme enot, samostojne sisteme in sisteme, zgrajene na mestu, ki delujejo s polnjenjem do 3 kg hladila. Te podtočke so 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1.1 do 5.1.4, 5.2, 5.3.1, 5.3.3 in 6.6. Potrebno vzdrževanje teh sistemov mora biti opisano v navodilih za uporabo, v primeru potrebe po popravilu pa se je treba obrniti na najbližji pooblaščeni servis.

instruction manual, see EN 378-2. NOTE 1 The frequency of such maintenance depends on the type, size, age, use etc. of the system. In many cases more than one maintenance service is required in the course of one year in accordance with legal requirements. NOTE 2 For personal protective equipment against refrigerants see EN 378-3. 5.1.2 The user / owner concerned for the refrigerating system shall ensure that the system is inspected, regularly supervised and maintained in a satisfactory manner. 5.1.3 Systems with a charge larger than 3 kg should be subject to tightness inspection at least on an annual basis. If, during the inspection the suspicion of a leak exists, e.g. through refrigerant temperature checks or capacity reduction, then leak has to be located with suitable detection equipment and should be repaired and checked again after the repair in accordance with national regulations. The results of the inspection and measures taken afterwards should be included in the logbook. Refer to Annex D for detailed specification regarding in service inspection. 5.1.4 The parties concerned for the refrigerating system shall also be responsible when another person uses the refrigerating system, unless another division of responsibility has been agreed upon. 5.1.5 Regular maintenance which does not include interference with, nor adjustment of, the refrigerating system and which requires no specialised knowledge of refrigeration can be carried out by a person of appro-priate competence employed by the person responsible. Examples of such non-specialist maintenance include air-side cleaning of heat exchangers, clea
