    Refrigerant labels



    Can any one advise supplier / specification for refrigerant identification labels for pipework?

    There are many listed for HVAC applications & ammonia etc but I can find no standard for HFC refrigeration systems.

    Is there a particular colour for types of refrigerants?

    Is there a british standard or EN?

    I have seen some small stick-on type from HRP. These seen small & not substantial in comparison to the HVAC indusrty?

    There used to be set colours for refrigerants but then some fool started making all sorts of mixes and I think they ran out of colours.
