Scope:

Note: This NOI was withdrawn by the responsible SDO on June 13, 2023.

This standard applies to variable refrigerant flow (VRF) multi-split air conditioners and multi-split heat pumps using distributed refrigerant technology, including all capacities of VRF water-source heat pump systems and VRF air-source systems with cooling capacity ≥ 65,000 Btu/h, as defined in Section 3 and referenced as the “basic model”.

Project need:

This standard establishes definitions, classifications, test requirements, rating requirements; minimum data requirements for published ratings, operating requirements, marking and nameplate data, and conformance conditions for variable refrigerant flow (VRF) multi-split air conditioners and heat pumps.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
