Rules regarding f gas

[DIVEJUDE]

I am trying to gain a clear perspective on the limitations of different f gas certificates. As engineers we have j11 however we have a maintenance engineer who only achieved j13. What does this limit to in real terms. Limited info suggests that he can service, maintain and document small systems (under 3 Kg). However I was under the impression that this is what manufacturers use for their delivery guys. Anyway any opinions and more importantly facts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

As far as i can find out, J13 only covers him recovery of refrigerant from systems 3kg and under (6kg hermetic system), nothing else.

Why not phone the training centre he attended and ask them what it covers to be sure?

If your engineer has J13 he can only recover refrigerant upto 3 kg not service nor maintain

City & Guilds 2079 has 4 catagories.

CITB J11 is the same as City & Guilds 2079 Cat 1
CITB J12 is the same as City & Guilds 2079 Cat 2
CITB J13 is the same as City & Guilds 2079 Cat 3
CITB J14 is the same as City & Guilds 2079 Cat 4
