IIAR’s international programs are managed and implemented by
IIAR’s international staff and the volunteers serving on IIAR’s International
Committee (IC) in accordance with the goals set by the Board of Directors. The mission of the IC is to promote the safe and
efficient use of Ammonia and other natural refrigerants through membership and
participation in the IIAR, the distribution of IIAR Standards, Training
materials and Safety publications directly or through alliances with
refrigeration organizations globally. IIAR cooperates with allied associations
throughout the world to promote the safe and efficient use of natural
refrigerants in industry and commerce.
Beginning in Latin America in 2009, IIAR has organized
numerous Industrial Refrigeration Seminars, offering a smaller scale but
similar experience to attending the Industrial Refrigeration Conference to
members of local industries who cannot easily participate in IIAR’s main annual
event. Through the efforts of IIAR’s
international staff, volunteers and cooperation international allies, IIAR is
translating its materials into Spanish and other languages.
The most recent initiative to enhance IIAR’s impact in the
global refrigeration industry is to set up and work with IIAR Chapters. Each IIAR Chapter organizes regular meetings
for the local refrigeration industry it represents, encourages participation in
IIAR at the local level and collaborate with local government agencies and
educational institutions to further the interests of natural refrigerant
technologies.
