Toxicity of refrigerant and
cooling liquid
*NOTE: for environmental reasons never discharge refrigerant into atmosphere (follow local regulations to properly dispose of
refrigerant).
It is recommended to familiarize with all technical documentation provided with the unit (such as controller manual, Mechanical
& Electrical Diagrams) in order to avoid improper operation of this unit.
It is also mandatory to comply with Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April
2014 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases.
The above mentioned Regulation lays down specific measures and restrictions to be considered while commissioning,
operating, maintaining and disposing any equipment containing greenhouse gases, such as HFCs, as specified in Annex I.
The Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 also (but not only) specifies mandatory leakage-check frequency to be performed by
certified personnel and mandatory records providing the evidence of exact fluorinated gas charge and subsequent added and/or
recovered quantities as described in Article 3 (reported below):
Article 3 → Containment
Operators of the following stationary applications: refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment, including their
circuits, as well as fire protection systems, which contain fluorinated greenhouse gases listed in Annex I, shall, using all
measures which are technically feasible and do not entail disproportionate cost:
(a) prevent leakage of these gases; and
(b) as soon as possible repair any detected leakage.
Operators of the applications referred to in paragraph 1 shall ensure that they are checked for leakage by certified personnel
who comply with the requirements of Article 5, according to the following schedule:
(a) applications containing 5 tonnes of CO
at least once every 12 months; this shall not apply to equipment with hermetically sealed systems, which are labeled as such
and contain less than 6 kg of fluorinated greenhouse gases;
(b) applications containing 50 tonnes of CO
at least once every six months;
(c) applications containing 500 tonnes of CO
leakage at least once every three months.
The applications shall be checked for leakage within one month after a leak has been repaired to ensure that the repair has
been effective.
For the purposes of this paragraph, 'checked for leakage' means that the equipment or system is examined for leakage using
direct or indirect measuring methods, focusing on those parts of the equipment or system most likely to leak. The direct and
indirect measuring methods of checking for leakage shall be specified in the standard checking requirements referred to in
paragraph 7.
Where a properly functioning appropriate leakage detection system is in place, the frequency of the checks required under
paragraph 2(b) and (c) shall be halved.
In the case of fire protection systems where there is an existing inspection regime in place to meet ISO 14520 standard, these
inspections may also fulfill the obligations of this Regulation as long as those inspections are at least as frequent.
Operators of the applications referred to in paragraph 1, containing 5 tonnes of CO
greenhouse gases, shall maintain records on the quantity and type of fluorinated greenhouse gases installed, any quantities
added and the quantity recovered during servicing, maintenance and final disposal. They shall also maintain records of other
relevant information including the identification of the company or technician who performed the servicing or maintenance, as
well as the dates and results of the checks carried out under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 and relevant information specifically
identifying the separate stationary equipment of applications referred to in paragraph 2(b) and (c). These records shall be made
available on request to the competent authority and to the Commission.
Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 also includes: 'Scope' – Article 1; 'Definitions' – Article 2; 'Recovery' – Article 4; 'Training and
Certification' – Article 5; 'Reporting' – Article 6; 'Labelling' – Article 7; 'Control of Use' – Article 8; 'Placing on the Market' –
Article 9; 'Review' – Article 10; Article 11; 'Committee' – Article 12; 'Penalties' – Article 13; Article 14; 'Entry into force'.
