b)   to secondary cooling or heating systems;
c)   to the location of the refrigerating systems;
d)   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 of FprEN 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 for another refrigerant type, in which case conformity with the relevant clauses of parts 1 to 4 of the standard shall be assessed.

Hladilni sistemi in toplotne črpalke - Varnostnotehnične in okoljevarstvene zahteve - 3. del: Mesto postavitve in zaščita oseb

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za varnost oseb in premoženja, določa smernice za varstvo okolja ter določa postopke za delovanje, vzdrževanje in popravilo hladilnih sistemov ter izpraznitev hladilnih sredstev.
Pojem »hladilni sistem« v tem evropskem standardu zajema tudi toplotne črpalke.  
Ta standard se uporablja za:
a) hladilne sisteme, nepremične ali premične, vseh velikosti, razen klimatskih naprav cestnih vozil, ki jih zajemajo posebni standardi za proizvode, kot sta ISO 13043 in SAE J 639;
b) sekundarne hladilne ali ogrevalne sisteme;
c) mesto postavitve teh hladilnih sistemov; in
d) dele in komponente, ki so bili zamenjani in dodani po sprejetju tega standarda, če nimajo enake funkcije in zmogljivosti.
Sistemi, ki uporabljajo hladilna sredstva, ki niso navedena v dodatku E standarda EN 378-1 (ali ISO/FDIS 817): 2013, niso zajeti v tem standardu.
Ta standard se ne uporablja za skladiščeno blago v povezavi s kvarjenjem ali kontaminacijo.
Ta standard se ne uporablja za hladilne sisteme in toplotne črpalke, ki so bile izdelane pred datumom objave standarda kot evropskega standarda, razen za razširitve in spremembe sistema, ki so bile uvedene po objavi.  
Ta standard se uporablja za nove hladilne sisteme, razširitve ali spremembe že obstoječih sistemov in za obstoječe stacionarne sisteme, ki se prenesejo in upravljajo na drugem mestu postavitve. Odstopanja so dovoljena samo, če je zagotovljena enakovredna zaščita.
Ta standard se uporablja tudi v primeru predelave sistema za drugo vrsto hladilnega sredstva, pri čemer je treba oceniti skladnost z ustreznimi točkami delov 1–4 tega standarda.  
Ta tretji del tega evropskega standarda se uporablja za mesto postavitve (prostor naprave in storitve). Določa varnostne zahteve na mestu postavitve, ki so morda potrebne zaradi hladilnega sistema in njegovih pomožnih sestavnih delov, vendar niso neposredno povezane z njimi.

The seal shall have at least the same fire resistance as the walls, ceiling or floor. NOTE 1 Discharge pipes from relief devices may diffuse the charge into the air by adequate means but away from any air intake to the building or discharge into an adequate quantity of a suitable absorbing material. NOTE 2 Relief devices for refrigerants in group A1 can discharge into the machinery room provided the system charge is less than the limits set in EN 378–1:2016, Annex C. Such discharges of refrigerant should take place so that persons and property are not endangered. 5.9 Normal lighting Fixed lighting shall be selected and positioned in spaces containing refrigerating equipment to provide adequate illumination for safe operation. The illumination level and location shall be as required by national regulations. Filament light bulbs shall be protected by “splash safe“ covers (EN 60529 IPX 4) in machinery rooms containing R-717 refrigerating systems. 5.10 Emergency lighting A fixed or portable emergency lighting system shall be provided, adequate to allow operation of controls and evacuation of personnel, when normal lighting fails. The illumination level and location shall be as required by national regulations. 5.11 Dimensions and accessibility The dimensions of the machinery room shall allow easy installation and sufficient room for service, maintenance, operation, repair and disassembly of the refrigerating equipment, including sufficient space for persons wearing personal protection equipment. If necessary, catwalks and fixed ladders shall be provided in order to avoid standing or walking on piping, fittings, their supports and supporting structures and on components during the operation, maintenance, inspection and repair of the refrigerating system.

The article discusses the European Standard EN 378-3:2016, which focuses on the safety requirements and environmental protection measures for refrigerating systems and heat pumps. It provides guidelines for the operation, maintenance, and repair of these systems, as well as the recovery of refrigerants. The standard applies to both stationary and mobile refrigerating systems, excluding vehicle air conditioning systems. It also covers secondary cooling or heating systems and specifies safety requirements for the installation site. The standard does not apply to goods in storage or refrigerating systems manufactured before its publication, unless they have undergone extensions or modifications. It is applicable to new systems, extensions or modifications of existing systems, and systems transferred to another site. In cases of converting a system to a different refrigerant type, compliance with the relevant clauses of parts 1 to 4 of the standard must be assessed.
