Standards Development
This proposed standard specifies the definitions and classifications of Refrigerant Compressor for refrigeration, air-conditioning, heat pump and dehumidifying applications as well as other devices, components and equipment that use refrigerant compressors and is not covered by other ISO technical committees. Non-refrigerant compressors, such as air compressors, are not within the scope of application of this standard.
The primary aim of this proposal is to create a unified and precise terminology and classification system for refrigerant compressors. This system will encompass all facets of refrigerant compressors, such as types, technical parameters, and component names, to guarantee that all industry stakeholders use a common language. The global market for refrigerant compressors is growing steadily. Regionally, the Asia Pacific region holds the largest share of the air conditioning and refrigeration compressors market, driven by rapid industrialization, infrastructure development, and the growing need for cooling solutions in hot climates, such as China, India, and Southeast Asian countries. Different manufacturers might use varying terms to refer to the same compressor or its components. This has caused confusion in communication among industry. Basic terms and classifications are the most basic concepts in the refrigerant compressor industry. These terms are the basis for understanding and learning industry knowledge, and are also the premise for technical exchanges and communication. Now different countries and regions have a variety of regulations and standards regarding refrigerant compressors. The Environmental regulations are becoming stricter (such as EU F-Gas regulations and China's dual carbon goals). Nevertheless, the absence of a unified terminology ISO standard poses challenges to the effective implementation and enforcement of these regulations. The classification method of products lacks standardized definitions, some new technologies and products cannot identity a match requirements in existing standards. And the differences in construction and capacity could affect the compressor test methods, performance rating and test facility requirements.
