This document is applicable to:

1. refrigerating systems, stationary or mobile, of all sizes, except vehicle air conditioning systems covered by a specific product standard; NOTE Example of specific product standard is ISO13043 and SAEJ639.
2. secondary cooling or heating systems;
3. the location of the refrigerating systems;
4. replaced parts and added components after the adoption of this document, if they are not identical in function and in capacity;
5. the conversion of a system for another refrigerant.
