This part also applies to electrical heat pumps, air conditioners and dehumidifiers containing flammable refrigerant. Flammable refrigerants are defined in 33.121. The appliances referenced above may consist of one or more factory made assemblies. If provided in more than one assembly, the separate assemblies are to be used together, and the technical requirements of this standard are based on the use of matched assemblies. Note 1: A definition of 'motor-compressor' is given in GB 4706.17, which includes the statement that the term motor-compressor is be used to designate either a hermetic motor-compressor or semi-hermetic motor- compressor. Note 2: Requirements for refrigeration safety are covered by ISO 5149, and requirements for containers intended for storage of the heated water included in sanitary hot water heat pumps are, in addition, covered by GB 4706.12. This part does not take into account chemicals other than group A1, A2, or A3 as defined by 3.121. Note 3: This part specifies particular requirements for the use of flammable refrigerants. Unless specifications are covered by this part, including the annexes, requirements for refrigerating safety are covered by ISO 5149. The sections and clauses in ISO 5149:1993 of particular concern to this part are as follows: ——Section 3: Design and construction of equipment applies to all appliances and systems. ——Section 4: Requirements for utilization applies to appliances and systems which are for “similar electrical appliances”, i.e. commercial and light industrial. ——Section 5: Operating procedures applies to appliances and systems which are for “similar electrical appliances”, i.e. commercial and light industrial. Supplementary heaters, or a provision for their separate installation, are within the scope of this part, but only heaters which are designed as a part of the appliance package, the controls being incorporated in the appliance. Note 4: Attention is drawn to the fact that ——for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary; ——for appliances subjected to pressure, additional requirements may be necessary; ——in many countries additional requirements are specified, for example, by the national health authorities responsible for the protection of labour and the national authorities responsible for storage, transportation, building constructions and installations. Note 5: This part does not apply to ——humidifiers intended for use with heating and cooling equipment (IEC 60335-2-88); ——appliances designed exclusively for industrial processing; ——appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
