Why conduct F-gas leak checks?

If your HVAC-R equipment contains fluorinated greenhouse gases in quantities of 5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent or more, it

must be checked for F-gas leakage by certified personnel only.

During these checks, precautionary measures are taken to prevent leakages. In case a leak is detected, it is repaired without undue delay.

How often should you conduct leak checks?

The frequency of your equipment’s leak inspections depends on its F-gas charge size measured in CO2 equivalents as shown in the table. The installation of a leakage detection system is mandatory for equipment that contains 500 t CO2 or more. The proper functioning of the system should be checked at least once every 12 months. If the equipment has a leakage detection system, the required frequency of leak checks is reduced by half.

We manage your F-gas requirements so that you don’t have to

All commercial, industrial and public sector organisations must comply with obligations under the government’s environmental policy on F-Gas and Ozone-Depleting Substances.

Our certified technicians can help you carry out different tasks such as:

• Regular leak checks
• Installation of leakage detection systems
• Diligent on-site record keeping with supporting templates
• Recovery and/or destruction of gases before equipment is discarded

You can also combine the required F-gas inspections with one of our service plans.
