F gas compliance again

[R1976]

Evening,

Can anyone tell me what is the minimum information required to be kept about equipment with F gases in. For our service customers should both party's keep a record, would model/ serial numbers and refrigerant amounts be enough. Service reports will show that leak checks have been carried out.

If anyone has an example document I would love to peruse it.

You need a logbook at your client where every handling with the refrigerant must be registered, a logbook for the refrigerant in your van, and a logbook in your shop.

That's at least the situation in Belgium but I suppose it will be the same in the UK.

Service records which states that a leak check was performed is not sufficient I think.
You must also state that you haven't found any leaks or that you repaired those you found.
If you found a leak, then you have to go back to re-check again.

All the gen you need:


BERR’s F Gas website:

BERR’s ODS website:

DEFRA’s website deals with both F gas and ODS:
http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/air-atmos/fgas/index.htm

DEFRA’s site contains information on compliance, but it’s not very well laid out – this means that you have to seek out the information for yourself….

But it’s all there…..

DEFRA’s site contains information on compliance, but in my opinion it’s not very well laid out – this means that you have to seek out the information for yourself….

However, it does contain a sample log sheet, but I would advise against cribbing the sample here. You need to do your own that is tailored to your client.

But it’s all there…..
