The following information applies to P030 Chillers with closed refrigeration cycles that are used
within the European Union. In some member states additional requirements may apply, e.g. due to
environmental considerations.
The P030 Chillers contain components whose working pressures are subject to the regulations laid
down in the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC and European standard EN 378 (Parts 1 − 4,
most recent version).
