goals of economical and reasonable, energy-saving, environmentally friendly,
safe and reliable.
1.0.2 This standard is applicable to the newly-built, expanded, reconstructed
food cold store, which adopts the subcritical vapor compression direct
refrigeration systems using ammonia, halogenated hydrocarbons and their
mixtures, carbon dioxide as refrigerants, AND the indirect refrigeration systems
using carbon dioxide, brine, etc. as refrigerating medium.
1.0.3 The cold store design shall be safe and reliable, energy-saving,
environmentally friendly, economically reasonable, advanced and applicable.
1.0.4 The cold store design shall not only meet the requirements of this

ascending operation sites, it shall be provided with the stairwell entrance or fire
rescue openings, for fire rescue personnel to enter.
