F-Gas category 1 certification details
F Gas certification is a necessary requirement for Refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) engineers who work with Fluorinated Gases. F Gases cause global warming with the most harmful (those with a high Global Warming Potential (GWP)) are in the process of being phased out as part of the F Gas regulations.
F Gas certification must be renewed every five years.
What does F Gas Category 1 cover?
Category 1 (Level 3): Installation, maintenance, service, recovery, decommissioning and leakage checking of refrigerant systems of any size, plus Categories 2 – 4.
Category 2 (Level 3): Installation, maintenance, service, recovery, decommissioning and leakage checking of refrigerant systems with a charge of less than 3kg (6kg if hermetically sealed).
Category 3 (Level 2): Refrigerant recovery from systems that contain less than 3kg of F-Gas.
Category 4 (Level 2): Checking for leaks and identifying leakage risk in refrigerant systems, including air conditioning units and heat pumps.
F Gas engineers will learn:
- Hazards and safe working practices
- The storage and transportation of recovered refrigerants
- The cause and effects of global warming, climate change and ozone depletion
- The recovery of refrigerant and oil in preparation for disposal
- Identification of components to air conditioning units and heat pumps
- Construction and examination of pipework, pressure testing, evacuation and completion of records
- The fabrication and fitting of mechanical brazed joints
- The installation, commissioning, servicing and repairs of refrigeration systems and heat pumps
