In order to legally recover F-gas (fluorinated greenhouse gas) from transport/cargo refrigerated systems, all technicians must have achieved (as a minimum requirement) a refrigerant handling qualification, meeting the EU F-gas regulations.
This Award is made up of one unit that covers topics derived from the European Union F-gas regulations (Commission Regulation EC 842/2006 and the later Annex to Commission Regulation EC 307/2008).
Who is it suitable for?
The purpose and aim of this qualification is to qualify individuals (working with automotive refrigerated cargo systems) to meet the European Union F-gas regulations (Commission Regulation EC 842/2006).
This qualification is also suitable for competent cargo refrigeration technicians who have completed a previous qualification (including ‘in-house’ training). Individuals must have a good understanding of components and system operation, to carry out procedures relating to air conditioning systems.
New EU F-Gas Regulation (517/2014) replaces the 2006 regulation and came into force January 2015.
