Summary

The new F-Gas Regulation includes many changes that became reality on 1 January 2015. Refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump contractors will be faced with a set of new requirements that will substantially affect the content and performance of their activities. With this guide, AREA wishes to provide a tool that explains and clarifies the new rules, their impact and their practical application. The guide comprehensively addresses all aspects relevant to contractors. For each theme, it clearly highlights what the impact is on contractors and it makes suggestions as to what they should do. It also includes useful tools, such as a conversion table weight-CO2-eq for the most commonly used refrigerants, a flowchart on leak check frequency and a table summarizing certification requirements.
