sible body to provide the necessary dimensioning and installation. Please refer to the data
sheet of the gas warning sensor for the technical information necessary for the installa-
tion. The alarm of the gas detection system can be connected to the responsible body’s
alarm control unit. The responsible body is responsible for this and for the other measures.
- The responsible body is responsible for the calibration of the gas detection sensor prior to
initial operation and the observance of calibration and maintenance intervals according to
the operation manual. We recommend to set calibration and maintenance intervals be-
tween 6 and 12 months if no information is provided. For increased safety requirements,
shorter intervals can be specified. On request we will recommend a specialist company to
carry out the calibration and maintenance.
1.4.1.3 Temperature control units with fluorinated greenhouse gases/refrigerants
F gases regulation (EC) No. 517/2014
of April 16, 2014, on fluorinated greenhouse gases, and re-
pealing Regulation (EC) No. 842/2006.
These regulations deal with all systems that contain fluorinated refrigerants. The substances dealt
with in Directive (EC) No. 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September
2009 that deplete the ozone layer are excluded (CFC/HCFC).
The directive regulates the reduction of the emission, utilization, recovery, and destruction of cer-
tain fluorinated greenhouse gases. It also regulates the identification and disposal of products and
devices that contain these gases. Since July 4, 2007, responsible bodies must check their stationary
refrigeration systems for leaks at regular intervals, and have any leaks eliminated immediately.
Directive (EC) No. 303/2008 contains stipulations on the training and certification of companies and
personnel that are permitted to execute the specified activities.
Obligations of the responsible bodies:
▪
Directive (EC) No. 842/2006 already imposed a number of obligations upon responsible bodies
regarding certain fluorinated greenhouse gases. The new Ordinance on Fluorinated Greenhouse
Gases upholds these to a large extent. Some duties are added while others are designed different-
ly by this new ordinance. Please refer to the text of this ordinance for a complete overview of the
individual responsibilities of responsible bodies.
▪ General obligation to reduce emissions.
▪
Only certified companies may maintain, repair or decommission refrigeration systems. The re-
sponsible bodies must verify that these companies are certified.
▪ Regular leak tests of stationary refrigeration systems by certified personnel (such as Huber service
engineers). The required test interval is based on the refrigerant filling capacity and the type of
refrigerant, converted to CO
2
2 equivalent.
▪
Responsibility of responsible bodies operating a plant to recover F-gases by certified personnel.
▪ Obligatory documentation requirement in the refrigeration system’s operation manual, specifying
type and volume of refrigerant used or recovered. The responsible body must keep the records
for at least 5 years after their creation and present it to the responsible authority upon request.
▪
Temperature control units with natural refrigerants (NR) are exempt from this Directive.
▪ Please refer to the data sheet or rating plate of your temperature control unit for the quantity
and type of refrigerant.
▪
Additional information about the definition of the inspection interval can be found on our web-
site.
1.4.2 Requirements for operators
Work on the temperature control unit is reserved for appropriately qualified specialists, who have
been assigned and trained by the responsible body to do so. Operators must be at least 18 years old.
Under 18-year olds may operate the temperature control unit only under the supervision of a quali-
fied specialist. The operator is responsible vis-a-vis third-parties in the work area.
1.4.3 Obligations of the operators
Carefully read the operation manual before operating the temperature control unit. Please observe
the safety instructions. When operating the temperature control unit, wear appropriate personal
protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles, protective gloves, non-slip shoes).
