Dont I need to keep records of refrigerant used?
Under the EC F gas Regulation it is the responsibility of the operator to keep records of relevant information specifically identifying any stationary RAC equipment on site that contains 3 kg or more of HFC refrigerant. This includes separate records on each piece of equipment identifying work completed, by whom, when and why, detailing any results and follow up actions. The records must also specify quantities of refrigerant added/removed at the time along with details of what was done with recovered refrigerant. Many operators have previously relied on their contractors to do this for them, often resulting in the loss of information when contractors change. The obligation on operators to keep records will mean that information is not lost but kept on site or centrally by the operator.
