This is a reaffirmation of ASHRAE Standard 26-1996. This standard was prepared under the auspices of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). It may be used, in whole or in part, by an association or government agency with due credit to ASHRAE. Adherence is strictly on a voluntary basis and merely in the interests of obtaining uniform standards throughout the industry.

This standard for refrigeration and air-conditioning installations aboard ship incorporates requirements for ventilation, leak detection, self-contained breathing apparatus, refrigerant use, piping, compressors, and system installations. Commonly used and appropriate practices for marine applications as well as the requirements of the US Coast Guard, American Bureau of Ships, Lloyd''s Register, and other marine societies are also included.
