F-Gas Regulations

New EU laws that came into in the UK on July 4th 2007 will force companies and organisations who have Air Conditioning or Refrigeration equipment installed in their premises into a tough new regime of care for their equipment.

The certain regime is as follows:

Prevent leakage. Have leaks repaired as soon as possible by certified personnel and keep service and maintenance records detailing type and quantity of refrigerant gas used.
Carry out a regular fixed schedule of inspections for leaks for equipment with a circuit charge of 3kg or more following a standard leak checking and procedure. This includes an obligation to check repairs made within one month.
Where systems have a charge of over 300kg they must in addition install fixed leakage detection systems.
Ensure the proper recovery of F Gases by certified personnel, to ensure their recycling, reclamation or destruction.

All of our engineers at Airkool are fully aware and trained to meet the requirements of this new regulation and are all qualified in the safe handling of refrigerants.

We recognise many companies and organisations in the UK are unaware of this new regulation hence why we have tailored a process from contacting the relevant persons(s) down to labelling and record keeping.

Please feel free to contact our Service department who will supply you with the relevant information and details on F-Gas.
