Global Warming and Ozone Depletion

Under the Montreal Protocol, Ozone Depleting Substances such as Refrigerant gases have been strictly regulated. CFC gases (e.g.R11, R12, R113, R114 & R115) have been banned completely since 2000, and the use of HCFC gases such as R22 in new heat pump systems was banned from 2004.

Under the Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gases are also now strictly regulated, of which HFCs are one of the six identified categories. (HFCs are the current replacement for CFC and HCFC gases being phased out under the above Montreal Protocol).

Under European Union Regulation 842/2006, all systems containing 3Kg or more of refrigerant gas must have an annual leak check,

 

It is now an offence for any named persons to vent or handle refrigeration without an RIB certificate both contractor and client are liable and can be fined up to £20,000 or five years imprisonment, please check your contractor has up to date certification.

It is therefore important that your systems are well maintained and serviced, and it is also important for you to verify which gases you have in your systems to know if they are serviceable and to budget for future replacements.
