ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 2010 Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 2010 Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems is the most recent edition of one of ASHRAE’s oldest standards. It removes Appendices B and G from and incorporates Addenda a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, and i into ASHRAE Standard 15-2007. The current Informative Appendix G describes how the standard has been affected by each addendum and lists its ASHRAE and ANSI approval dates.
This standard establishes safeguards for life, limb, health, and property and prescribes safety requirements. 2.2 This standard applies Scope to the design, construction, test, installation, operation, and inspection of mechanical and absorption refrigeration systems, including heat pump systems used in stationary applications;
to modifications including replacement of parts or components if they are not identical in function and capacity; and to substitutions of refrigerant having a different designation.

While ASHRAE Standard 15 is generally written as a self-sufficient document, it does normatively reference several other standards (see Normative Appendix C). One of those standards is ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34, Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants,1 which prescribes the Refrigerant Classification System as well as refrigerant concentration limits that are vitally important in the context of this standard. Although changes to ASHRAE Standard 15 are closely coordinated with those to ASHRAE Standard 34, users of ASHRAE Standard 15 should also review the most recent version of ASHRAE Standard 34 and its associated addenda for the latest information related to refrigerant designations and safety classifications.
