Résumé

From an environmental point of view, flammable refrigerants are preferred for various applications, including heat pumps, due to their lower GWP (Global Warming Potential). However, adequate safety standards are necessary if they are to be used safely. Several indices are available for assessing the flammability of refrigerants, and these are used in various standards. This article discusses the differences between these indices and some of their drawbacks. A new index is proposed that may be better than current indices, but replacing the current criteria by new ones may take many years.
