| 1. Retail Food Refrigeration-Stand-alone units and refrigerated food processing and dispensing equipment, excluding refrigerated food processing and dispensing equipment that is within the scope of UL 621 (Ice Cream Makers) (New only) | HFO-1234yf, HFO-1234ze(E), R-454C, R-455A, R-457A, and R-516A | Acceptable subject to use conditions | These refrigerants may be used only in new equipment specifically designed and clearly identified for the refrigerant (i.e., none of these substitutes may be used as a conversion or "retrofit" refrigerant for existing equipment designed for other refrigerants). These refrigerants may be used in stand-alone units and refrigerated food processing and dispensing equipment if and only if such equipment meets requirements listed in ASHRAE 15-2022.145 In cases where this listing includes requirements different than those of ASHRAE 15-2022, the appliance would need to meet the requirements of this listing 1 in place of the requirements in ASHRAE 15-2022. These refrigerants may only be used in refrigeration equipment that meets all requirements in UL 60335-2-89,123 except as provided otherwise in UL 60335-2-89, in ASHRAE 15-2022, or in this listing 1. This listing 1 does not apply to refrigerated food processing and dispensing equipment that is within the scope of UL 621 (Ice Cream Makers). In cases where this listing includes requirements more stringent than those of UL 60335-2-89, the appliance must meet the requirements of this listing 1 in place of the requirements in UL 60335-2-89. Where similar requirements of ASHRAE 15-2022 and UL 60335-2-89 differ, the more stringent or conservative condition shall apply unless superseded by this listing 1. The following markings must be attached at the locations provided and must be permanent: | Applicable OSHA requirements at 29 CFR part 1910 must be followed, including those at 29 CFR 1910.94 (ventilation) and 1910.106 (flammable and combustible liquids), 1910.110 (storage and handling of liquefied petroleum gases), and 1910.1000 (toxic and hazardous substances). It is the obligation of regulated entitles to inform themselves of and comply with any other applicable legal obligations or restrictions. Proper ventilation should be maintained at all times during the manufacture and storage of equipment containing flammable refrigerants through adherence to good manufacturing practices as per 29 CFR 1910.106 . If refrigerant levels in the air surrounding the equipment rise above one-fourth of the lower flammability limit, the space should be evacuated, and reentry should occur only after the space has been properly ventilated. Technicians and equipment manufacturers should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including chemical goggles and protective gloves, when handling flammable refrigerants. Special care should be taken to avoid contact with the skin which, like many refrigerants, can cause freeze burns on the skin. A class B dry powder type fire extinguisher should be kept nearby. Technicians should only use spark-proof tools when working on air conditioning equipment with flammable refrigerants. |
| (a) On the outside of the equipment: "WARNING-Risk of Fire. Flammable Refrigerant Used. To Be Repaired Only By Trained Service Personnel. Do Not Puncture Refrigerant Tubing."
