Training and certification on F-gases and alternative refrigerants. AREA internal survey 2021.
Author(s) : AREA
Type of monograph: Report
Summary
Around 345,000 refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) personnel are F-Gas certified in the 18 EU countries covered by AREA membership. The figure increases to 397,000 with the UK and over 433,000 with Turkey and Norway.
Since the phase-down scheme and the bans provided by the F-Gas Regulation are gradually pushing HFCs out the market, the survey also looked at the proportion of F-Gas certified personnel trained on alternatives. Unfortunately, though unsurprisingly, the results are low. Ammonia has the highest rate with 7%, closely followed with CO2 (6.9%). HCs score 6.2% and 5.3%, depending whether the equipment is small or large. Finally, only 3.5% of F-Gas certified personnel is trained on HFOs.
