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

This European Standard defines the activities related to refrigerating circuits and the associated competence profiles and establishes procedures for assessing the competence of persons who carry out these activities.
NOTE    As a refrigerating circuit is considered not to incorporate electrical and electronic systems, activities in this area are not part of this standard. For competences on electrical and electronic systems, it is recommended to refer to national regulations or appropriate European or national standards. This European Standard does not apply to persons carrying out work on self contained refrigerating systems as defined in 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 organisation or individual, responsible for the compliance with statutory requirements on health, safety and environment.

1.3   This European Standard applies to the selection, application and installation of safety accessories intended to protect the piping during the various phases of the refrigeration cycle.
1.4   This European Standard applies to the following piping:
-   heat exchanger consisting of piping for the purpose of cooling or heating air where piping aspects are predominant;
-   piping incorporated into an assembly (e.g. self-contained system, condensing unit);
-   field erected piping.
1.5   This European Standard applies to piping with an internal pressure down to – 1 bar, to account for the evacuation of the piping prior to charging with refrigerant.
1.6   This European Standard applies to both the mechanical loading conditions and thermal conditions as defined in EN 13480-3 associated with refrigerating systems. It applies to piping subject to the maximum allowable temperatures for which nominal design stresses for materials are derived using prEN 14276-1 or as specified in this European Standard. In addition piping designed to this standard needs to have a maximum design temperature not exceeding 150 °C and a maximum design pressure not exceeding 160 bar. Outside of these limits, EN 13480 should be used for the design construction and inspection of the piping. Under these circumstances, the unique nature of a refrigerating plant, as indicated in the introduction of prEN 14276-1, needs also to be taken into account.
1.7   This European Standard applies to piping where the main pressure bearing parts are manufactured from metallic ductile materials as defined in Clause 4 and in prEN 14276-1.
