MET:

  • Minor wording changes across the suite
  • Addition of reference to other refrigerant gases in addition to F-gas where relevant
  • Addition of performance criteria re disposal or recycling of components/materials where relevant
  • References to ADAS added where relevant

Core:

  • Addition of IMICA06 – was IMIARBG6
  • Addition of new IMICA14-IMICA18 – created from a combination of similar NOS within multiple other suites (LV, HGPSV, HVT and LT)
  • Removal of IMIARBG11 and IMIARBG12 due to no take up.
