“fire extinguisher” means a device capable of extinguishing a fire, or a fire extinguishing system and, unless the context indicates otherwise, the cylinders, pipes, tubes, hoses, valves or other components necessary for their operation; (extincteur)

“halocarbon” means a chemical compound that contains at least one carbon atom and one halogen atom, that is stable enough to reach the stratosphere and that may react with stratospheric ozone or be the source of climate change; it includes in particular the substances set out in Schedule I, whether existing alone or in a mixture, and includes the isomers of any such substance; (halocarbure)

“halon” means a fully halogenated halocarbon each molecule of which contains 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms and at least 1 atom of bromine and 1 atom of fluorine (also referred to as “bromofluorocarbon”); (halon)

“HCFC” means a halocarbon each molecule of which contains 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms and at least 1 atom of hydrogen, 1 atom of chlorine and 1 atom of fluorine (also referred to as “hydrochlorofluorocarbon”) and whose molecular formula is CnHxFyCl(2n+2-x-y), where 0 < n < 4; (HCFC)

“HFC” means a halocarbon each molecule of which contains only carbon, hydrogen and fluorine atoms (also referred to as “hydrofluorocarbon”) and whose molecular formula is CnHxF(2n+2-x), where 0 < n < 6; (HFC)

“PFC” means a fully fluorinated halocarbon each molecule of which contains only carbon and fluorine atoms (also referred to as “perfluorocarbon”); (PFC)

“power rating” means the maximum useful power of a unit as specified by the manufacturer;

“refrigeration or air conditioning unit” means a refrigeration or air conditioning system or facility, a freezing unit, a heat pump or a dehumidifier. (appareil de réfrigération ou de climatisation)

For the purposes of section 4, subparagraph 3 of the third paragraph of section 5 and the second paragraph of section 9, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is considered to be a halocarbon.

“power rating” means the total power rating of all the motors connected to the compressors in the same cooling system of a refrigeration or air conditioning unit, calculated from the power of each motor as specified by its manufacturer and expressed in or converted into kilowatts; (puissance nominale)

“refrigeration or air conditioning unit” means a refrigeration or air conditioning system or facility, a freezing unit, a heat pump or a dehumidifier and, unless the context indicates otherwise, the compressor, pipes, tubes, hoses, valves or other components necessary for their operation.
