Checks to the refrigeration equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose
and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer s maintenance and
service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer s technical
department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations
using flammable refrigerants:
The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant
containing parts are installed; The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating
adequately and are not obstructed;
If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuits shall be
checked for the presence of refrigerant; marking to the equipment continues to be
visible and legible.
Marking and signs that are illegible shall be corrected;
Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely
to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing
components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are
inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so
corroded.

Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks
and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise
safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is
satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is
necessary to continue operation, and adequate temporary solution shall be used.
This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shall include:
That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking;
That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging,
recovering or purging the system; That there is continuity of earth bonding.

Repairs to sealed components
a)
During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected
from the equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers,
etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during
servicing, then a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located
at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
b)
articular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on
electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of
protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of
connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals,
incorrect fitting of glands, etc.
