bon refrigerants acceptable with use conditions in new household refrigerators and freezers and combination refrigerator and freezers with a charge of 57 g (2 oz) or less. EPA also has proposed propane as acceptable with use conditions in standalone retail food refrigerators and freezers with a charge of 150 g (5 oz) or less. Current standards restrict hydrocarbons for comfort conditioning applications. Standard 15-2007 limits non-A1 refrigerants to 3 kg (7 lb) for residential occupancies and 10 kg (22 lb) for commercial occupancies. It also states that Group A3 and B3 refrigerants shall not be used except where approved by the authority having jurisdiction, with some exceptions. The 2006 International Mechanical Code (IMC) and 2006 Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) building codes also have adopted Standard 15-2007 charge limits. These restrictions may prove burdensome for manufacturers, especially for equipment that is too large to meet the charge limits in these standards. Several states have recently modified state regulations that previously banned the use of flammable refrigerants in mobile air-conditioning applications. These new regulations reference the EPA SNAP list or Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard J639 as the basis for defining acceptable refrigerants in mobile air conditioning. However, six states currently ban all

flammable refrigerants in mobile air conditioning. Three of these states are expected to modify these bans as explained previously, leaving Louisiana, North Dakota, and Oklahoma as states with blanket bans in place.3 In addition, Iowa and Wisconsin ban the use of certain hydrocarbons in mobile air conditioning. Europe Regulations for hydrocarbon refrigerants are less restrictive in Europe than in the U.S. Safety has been addressed primarily through the use of charge limits and safety requirements for each application, which permit the use of hydrocarbons in nearly all applications. EN 378 contains strict requirements that may pose a barrier to using hydrocarbons in residential and commercial packaged air-conditioning applications. In particular, floor-standing units currently face charge limits that make low-level comfort units impractical.4 Currently, EN 378 establishes charge limits based on the height of the equipment, with more restrictive limits reserved for low-standing units. The current standards favor ceiling and elevated systems. IEC standards establish a universal charge limit of 150 g (5 oz) for commercial refrigeration systems and domestic refrigerators. This limit can potentially pose a barrier to using hydrocarbons in larger commercial refrigeration systems.
