AIRAH and Standards Australia are pleased to present a seminar series on the recently adopted and published refrigeration safety and environmental standards; AS/NZS ISO 817:2016 Refrigerants – Designation and safety classification which replaces AS/NZS 1677.1:1998 and AS/NZS 5149 Refrigerating systems and heat pumps – Safety and environmental requirements: Parts 1 to 4, which replaces AS/NZS 1677.2:1998.

Each of these new adoptions have had major modifications and revisions over the previous AS/NZS 1677 series and are critical as we move to low global warming potential refrigerants.
