Code Interaction

The duties of the Code Interaction Subcommittee (CIS) of Standards shall be to advise the Standards Committee on ASHRAE’s relationships with building code-writing bodies.

Procedures governing the CIS Subcommittee of Standards Committee can be found in the Standards Committee MOP - Appendix P. The CIS meets at the Winter and Annual ASHRAE Meetings on Sunday from 7-10 p.m. There is a conference call meeting scheduled approximately every 4-8 weeks.

The Code Development Committee (CDC), which is a subcommittee of CIS, is intended to provide a means for ASHRAE to represent the interests of ASHRAE members as a significant player in the development of U.S. Building Codes and to provide a forum for development of consensus for code interaction within ASHRAE.

ASHRAE Standard 34-2010 establishes a simple means of referring to common refrigerants instead of using the chemical name, formula or trade name.  It also established a uniform system for assigning reference numbers and safety classifications to refrigerants.

• ASHRAE refrigerant designations (current as of September 1, 2009)

Section 9 of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34-2010, Application Instructions, identifies the requirements to apply for designations and safety classifications for refrigerants.
