F-Gas

The new revised F-gas regulation came into force on 1st January 2015 (EU 517/20-14).

The EU has introduced a new regulation on the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F gases) like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexaflouride (SF6). The regulation replaces the 2006 regulation.

This impacts anyone who:

• Manufactures, uses or services equipment that contains F gases, like refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
• Produces or wholesales F gas
• Imports or exports F gas, or equipment containing F gas, to or from the EU

If your refrigeration system or air conditioning system contains less than 3kg & more than 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of HFC refrigerant then it comes under the new F-Gas regulations.

We only use trained refrigeration engineers & all our engineers have their City & Guilds F-gas 2079 certification.
