This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text
14、or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for id

BS EN 13313:2010EN 13313:2010 (E) 4 Introduction Refrigerating systems, if not properly constructed, installed, operated and maintained, can be of danger to the health and safety of p
19、ersons, the safety property, be detrimental to the environment and increase the energy consumption. It is therefore essential that personnel dealing with such systems are competent to carry out the activity, or activities, listed in this standard. These activities cover the particular sectors in whi
20、ch they may operate from original design to final dismantling and disposal. As job descriptions can vary from country to country and from company to company, this standard specifies the activities to be carried out. Job descriptions should specify these activities. This standard defines the activiti
21、es related to the refrigerating circuit. BS EN 13313:2010EN 13313:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines the activities related to refrigerating circuits and the associated competence profiles and establishes procedures for assessing the competence of persons who carry out these activitie
22、s. NOTE As a refrigerating circuit is considered not to incorporate electrical and electronic systems, activities in this area are not part of this standard. For competences on electrical and electronic systems, it is recommended to refer to national regulations or appropriate European or national s
23、tandards. This European Standard does not apply to persons carrying out work on self contained refrigerating systems as defined in EN 378-1 from the initial design of the product to the complete manufacture of the product, provided the process is controlled and the methods used are checked by an org
24、anisation or individual, responsible for the compliance with statutory requirements on health, safety and environment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
