F-Gas Audit and Compliance
Refcom
We are F-Gas registered by Refcom and all our engineers are F-Gas qualified to work on air conditioning or refrigeration equipment including leak checking, refrigerant recovery, installation, service, repairs and maintenance.
We are obligated to follow certain procedures and keep records to ensure that air conditioning and refrigeration equipment that we work on has the least environmental impact through reducing CO² emissions.
The F-Gas regulations require that minimal refrigerant gases are released to the atmosphere and that equipment runs at its maximum efficiency.
Key Obligations
F-Gas regulations require the operator of stationary air conditioning or refrigeration equipment that use refrigerants containing F-gases to comply with the obligations in the F-Gas regulations.
The main requirements of the F-Gas regulations for all stationary systems are:
- A general obligation to prevent leakage
- Ensure only qualified personnel carry out installation, servicing and maintenance or leakage checking
- Ensure refrigerant records are kept and updated (keeping an F-Gas register)
- Implementation of refrigerant leak checking programmes
F-Gas Register
Stationary air conditioning or refrigeration equipment containing F-gases is to be entered onto the F-gas register and certain records for each individual refrigerant system kept.
The F-Gas register is required to contain:
- The quantity and type of F-Gas refrigerants
- Any quantities of refrigerant added
- The quantity of refrigerant recovered during servicing, maintenance and final disposal
- The identity of the company or personnel who performed the servicing or maintenance, as well as the dates and results of leakage checks and leakage detection system checks.
