1. What is “High Pressure Gas Safety Act”? This act is the regulation for high pressure gas, but covers toxicity and flammability of the refrigerants, and applies to HVAC equipment of the size above certain refrigerant volume. 2. Step toward revision of classification for A2L refrigerants (legislations to assure safety)
