F-GAS regulations
Since January 1, 2015, the new European regulation known as "F-GAS" relating to fluorinated greenhouse gases and other certain fluids requires that all personnel handling fluids must hold a certificate attesting their ability to handle these fluids.
These gases and fluids contribute to the increase of the greenhouse effect and the reduction of the ozone layer. The purpose of this legislation is to establish rules for the use of these gases and fluids, including their containment, how to recover and destroy them.
The buyer of equipment containing refrigerants must therefore commit that the installation and commissioning of the equipment must be performed by an approved installer.
For his part, the approved installer must have a valid certificate of competence at the time of installation and commissioning of the equipment.
For more information, the European Regulation F-GAS n°517/2014 is available HERE.
Assembly contract CERFA
CERFA is a contract for the assembly and commissioning of pre-charged equipment containing refrigerants gaz as provided for in article R.543-84 of the French environmental code.
The contract is celebrated jointly by the purchaser of the equipment and by the installer who assembled and commissioned the equipment.
Certificates Capacity Control
On receipt of the CERFA and/or certificate of competence, the legislation requires us to check the validity of the incumbent operator.
You can check the validity of your installer's attestations on the SYDEREP database availableHERE.
