UL 207 is a widely recognized standard developed by Underwriters Laboratories for safety testing of refrigerant-containing components and accessories, such as those used in air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment. This standard specifies requirements for the design, construction, and performance of components such as valves, filters, and pressure vessels that contain or control refrigerants under pressure. The main objective of UL 207 is to evaluate these components to ensure they can safely perform their intended functions without posing risks of leakage, rupture, or failure. The standard addresses various factors, including strength, functionality, and pressure integrity, and it applies to products rated for specific refrigerants and pressure conditions. Adherence to UL 207 helps manufacturers demonstrate compliance with important safety requirements, enabling end users and industry professionals to select products that meet recognized performance benchmarks.
UL 207 covers a range of testing methods, including hydrostatic strength testing, leak testing, and endurance testing under specified pressures and temperatures. These tests are intended to verify both the mechanical integrity and performance reliability of components subjected to typical operating conditions in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The scope of UL 207 includes both factory-assembled and field-installed components and accessories rated up to 5000 psi (34.5 MPa). Additionally, the standard provides guidance for labeling, markings, and technical documentation, ensuring correct identification and application of these components. Manufacturers seeking UL 207 certification must undergo rigorous evaluation and periodic review to maintain compliance. As such, UL 207 serves as a benchmark across a diverse range of products throughout the HVACR industry, supporting consistent safety and reliability in equipment that handles refrigerants under pressure.
