Hi Guys,
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction regarding safety standards relating to the management of ammonia refridgeration systems? Looking guidance on requirements for plant rooms, pipework, areas of use, emergency arrangements, etc.
I need find out what we have in place but not sure what the standards are that i will comparing current status against for improvements
cheers

Hi Safetyman
Guidance (some of which may be out of print) includes
HS(G)30 Storage of anhydrous ammonia, HSE 1986
BRE Information Paper IP18/00 Ammonia Refrigerant in Buildings, 2000
Chemical Industries Association RC94 Guidance for the Large Scale Storage of Fully Refrigerated Anhydrous Ammonia, 1997
Safety Code of Practice for Refrigerant Systems - Utilising Refrigerant R-717 (Ammonia), Institute of Refrigerants, 2008
In addition to toxicity, ammonia can be explosible under certain conditions.
