Safety precautions
Bans on GWP
R404A/R507A and other refrigerants with a GWP over 2500 are banned from new stationary sys-
tems after 2020. Existing systems can be serviced with reclaimed refrigerant until 2030, provided
that proper-quality refrigerant is available. Read the local regulations.
Labelling
The unit must be fitted with a label (name plate). Refrigerant type, charge in kg and CO
2
Equiva-
lent (CO
2
eq) must be stated on the plate.
Leakage test
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the unit is checked for leakages by a competent
person. For units charged with fluorinated greenhouse gases, the following conditions apply de-
pending on type of plant and amount of charge:
• for equipment that contains fluorinated greenhouse gases in quantities of 5 tonnes of
CO
2
eq or more, but of less than 50 tonnes of CO
2
eq: at least every 12 months; or where a
leakage detection system is installed, at least every 24 months
• for equipment that contains fluorinated greenhouse gases in quantities of 50 tonnes of
CO
2
eq or more, but of less than 500 tonnes of CO
2
eq: at least every six months or, where
a leakage detection system is installed, at least every 12 months
• for equipment that contains fluorinated greenhouse gases in quantities of 500 tonnes of
CO
2
eq or more: at least every three months or, where a leakage detection system is in-
stalled, at least every six months.
The equipment must be checked for leakage within one month after a leak has been repaired to
ensure that the repair has been effective.
Recovery of refrigerant
Operators are responsible for putting in place arrangements for the proper recovery of fluorinated
greenhouse gases by competent personnel to ensure recycling, reclamation or destruction.
Certification of personnel
According to directive 303/2008, it is mandatory for the member states to establish certification
and training programs for personnel involved in leakage inspections and the recovery, recycling,
reclamation and destruction of fluorinated gases.
Record keeping
For all units containing fluorinated greenhouse gases in quantities of more than 5 tonnes of
CO
2
eq, records must be kept indicating the quantity and type of product, quantities added for re-
charges and the quantity recovered during servicing, maintenance and final disposal. Other rele-
vant information is also requested, such as identification of the servicing company or technician,
as well as dates and results of the checks.
