What is F-Gas?


The EU has introduced a new regulation on the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F gases) like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexaflouride (SF6).

What this means -

It impacts anyone who uses equipment that contains Refrigerant such as Airconditioning, Heat Pumps,Coldstores, Chillers, Display counters etc

Also anyone who works with systems that contain refrigerant must hold a current Fgas certificate to be able to work on them.
