C&G 2079 - F GAS – SAFE HANDLING OF REFRIGERANTS
With the introduction of the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations 2009, it is an offence for anyone in the UK to work with refrigerants without holding the correct qualification. This applies to all engineers working with refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment. Upon successful completion of the theory & practical assessments, students will be issued a City & Guilds certificate.
