Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Competence of personnel (ISO 22712:2023)

This document defines the activities related to refrigerating systems according to ISO 5149‑1, ISO 5149‑2, ISO 5149‑3 and ISO 5149‑4 and other equivalent standards, such as EN 378‑1, EN 378‑2, EN 378‑3, EN 378‑4 and the associated competence profiles. It also establishes the competence criteria for persons who carry out these activities. Activities concerning electricity are excluded.
NOTE 1   As a refrigerating circuit is considered not to incorporate electrical and electronic systems, activities in this area are not part of this document. National regulations or appropriate International or national standards can be referred to for competence on electrical and electronic systems.
NOTE 2   This document does not apply to persons carrying out work on self‑contained refrigerating systems as defined in ISO 5149‑1 or EN 378‑1, from the initial design of the product to the complete manufacture of the product, provided the process is controlled and the methods used are checked by an organization or individual responsible for the conformance with statutory requirements on health, safety and environment (e.g. energy efficiency).
NOTE 3   This document does not constitute a training programme.

Kälteanlagen und Wärmepumpen - Sachkunde von Personal (ISO 22712:2023)

Dieses Dokument legt die Tätigkeiten in Zusammenhang mit Kühlsystemen nach ISO 5149 1, ISO 5149 2, ISO 5149 3 und ISO 5149 4 und anderen äquivalenten Normen wie EN 378 1, EN 378 2 [4], EN 378 3 [5], EN 378 4 [6] und die dazugehörigen Sachkundeprofile fest. Es legt darüber hinaus die Sachkundekriterien für Personen, die diese Tätigkeiten ausführen, fest. Tätigkeiten in Bezug auf Elektrizität sind ausgenommen.
ANMERKUNG 1   Da von einem Kältemittelkreislauf angenommen wird, dass er keine elektrischen und elektronischen Systeme einschließt, sind Tätigkeiten in diesem Bereich kein Bestandteil des vorliegenden Dokuments. Bezüglich der Sachkunde zu elektrischen und elektronischen Systemen können nationale Vorschriften oder entsprechende nationale oder internationale Normen in Bezug genommen werden.
ANMERKUNG 2   Dieses Dokument ist nicht für Personen anwendbar, die Arbeiten an Kältesätzen nach ISO 5149 1 oder EN 378 1 von der Vorplanung des Produkts bis zur kompletten Fertigstellung des Produkts verrichten, sofern der Ablauf von einer Organisation oder Einzelperson überwacht wird und die angewendeten Verfahren von dieser überprüft werden, die für das Erfüllen der gesetzlichen Anforderungen an Gesundheit, Sicherheit und Umwelt (z. B. Energieeffizienz) verantwortlich ist.
ANMERKUNG 3   Dieses Dokument stellt kein Schulungsprogramm dar.

Systèmes frigorifiques et pompes à chaleur - Compétence du personnel (ISO 22712:2023)

Le présent document définit les activités liées aux systèmes frigorifiques conformément à l’ISO 5149-1, l’ISO 5149-2, l’ISO 5149-3 et l’ISO 5149-4, et d’autres normes équivalentes, telles que l’EN 378-1, l’EN 378-2, l’EN 378-3, l’EN 378-4 et les profils de compétences associés. Il établit également des critères de compétence pour les personnes qui réalisent ces activités. Les activités liées à l'électricité sont exclues.
NOTE 1       Un circuit frigorifique étant sensé ne pas comporter de systèmes électriques et électroniques, les activités entrant dans ce domaine ne font pas partie du présent document. Les réglementations nationales ou les normes internationales ou nationales appropriées peuvent être consultées pour les compétences relatives aux systèmes électriques et électroniques.
NOTE 2       Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux personnes employées par des entreprises de fabrication de composants ou équipements frigorifiques autonomes ou monoblocs tels que définis dans l’ISO 5149-1 ou l’EN 378‑1, depuis la conception initiale du produit jusqu'à la fabrication complète du produit, à condition que le processus soit contrôlé et que les méthodes utilisées soient vérifiées par un organisme ou une personne, responsable de la conformité aux exigences légales en matière de santé, de sécurité et d'environnement (par exemple, l'efficacité énergétique).
NOTE 3       Le présent document ne constitue pas un programme de formation.

Hladilne naprave in toplotne črpalke - Strokovna usposobljenost osebja (ISO 22712:2023)

Ta evropski standard opredeljuje dejavnosti, povezane s hladilnimi tokokrogi, in povezane profile usposobljenosti ter vzpostavlja postopke za oceno usposobljenosti oseb, ki izvajajo te dejavnost.
OPOMBA:    Ker hladilni tokokrog ne spada med vgrajene električne in elektronske sisteme, dejavnosti s tega področja niso del tega standarda. Za usposobljenost glede električnih in elektronskih sistemov se priporoča vpogled v nacionalne predpise oziroma ustrezne evropske oziroma nacionalne standarde. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za osebe, ki izvajajo delo na samozadrževalnih hladilnih sistemih, kot je opredeljeno v standardu EN 378-1 od začetne zasnove izdelka do končne proizvodnje izdelka pod pogojem, da je postopek nadzorovan in uporabljene metode preverja organizacija ali posameznik, ki je odgovoren za zagotavljanje skladnosti z zakonskimi zahtevami na področju zdravja, varnosti in okolja.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

ISO 22712:2023(E)
Introduction
Refrigerating systems, if not properly constructed, installed, operated and maintained, can be of danger
to the health and safety of persons and the safety of property, can be detrimental to the environment
and can increase energy consumption.
It is therefore essential that personnel dealing with such systems have the competence to carry out the
activity, or activities, listed in this document. These activities cover the particular sectors in which they
can potentially operate, from original design to final dismantling and disposal. As job descriptions can
vary from country to country and from company to company, this document specifies the activities
which can be carried out. Job descriptions can specify these activities or a selection of these activities.
This document defines the activities related to the refrigerating circuit.
