F Gas Regs and understanding them?

[Grizzly]

Hi Guys!
One for the trainers I suspect?
If a piece of kit fails and releases an amount of refrigerant.
At what point is the release notifiable?
Meaning bad practices etc. are reportable, is it necessary to report a loss of refrigerant from a system? If so at what amount does it become necessary.
I have several customers with exceptional questioning attitudes, particularly where environmental issues are concerned.
I was asked is a leak reportable and if so what size?
I did not know, hence the question!
Thanks Grizzly

Thanks for replying Jonjon. Nothing about my area of concern though!

I don't think you need to notify anyone about a leak, but obviously it needs to go in the log book.

I could well be wrong though!

I'm not at work at the moment so I don't have my documents with me
but I remember reading that you must make provision to repair a leak
within 14 days.

There is no requirement to report said leak other than in the log book
that will be left on site and details like where and why the leak was.

If it is really important I will dig out the docs when I'm back at work
but that won't be until after next week.

questions.
