Your Go-To Team: Trusted Air Conditioning Engineers In Sheffield

"Operators" are defined as individuals or organisations with actual power over the technical functioning of the equipment. The legal responsibility for compliance with the Regulation lies with the operator. Any equipment small enough to plug in rather than having to be permanently wired is likely to be excluded from the requirements, other than an overall requirement to prevent leakage and to repair any leaks as soon as possible. For stationary refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump units over a 3kg charge (6kg if hermetic), operators must:

 

• Prevent leakage and repair any leaks as soon as possible

• Arrange proper refrigerant recovery by certified personnel during servicing and disposal

• Carry out leak checks to the schedule shown below

• Ensure that only certified competent personnel carry out leakage checks

• Maintain records of refrigerants and servicing
