We're pleased to release a new NASRC factsheet to accelerate the adoption of the newly established propane charge limit into standards and building codes!
Overview: Propane (R-290) is a safe, climate-friendly refrigerant with tremendous potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from supermarket refrigeration.
Last year, the UL safety standard (60335-2-89) was updated to incorporate higher allowable charge sizes of propane. The goal of this factsheet is to accelerate updates to remaining codes and standards.
Topics Covered:
Propane as a safe, cost-effective, and climate-friendly refrigerant
Propane applications in supermarkets
Approved UL safety standard that allows higher propane charge limits
The latest status on the process to update remaining codes and standards
Audience: Building code officials, policymakers, government agencies, or other entities involved in remaining codes and standards updates.
