Author(s) : WALTER W. F.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The discovery that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) could destroy stratospheric ozone resulted in the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer. In response to the global environmental threat, the industry has developed and introduced replacement refrigerants with very low or zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). An ISO working group is developing means to designate and classify new refrigerants for inclusion in an updated ISO standard 817, with the proposed title: Refrigerants: designation and safety classification.
