Certified F-Gas Services
F-gases are found in refrigeration, air conditioning, heating, and other transfer fluids, and while they’re essential, they’re also potent greenhouse gases that can harm the atmosphere if not managed correctly.
That’s why the F-Gas Regulation No. 842/2006 makes it a legal requirement for operators to keep systems in good working order and to use only certified professionals.

Your F-Gas Responsibilities
Staying on top of F-Gas regulations can feel like a hassle, but we’re here to make it simple. If you operate stationary refrigeration, air conditioning, or heat pump units with more than 3kg of charge (or 6kg if hermetically sealed), you’ll need to:
- Stop Leaks Quickly and Get Them Fixed as Soon as Possible
- Make Sure Refrigerants Are Recovered Properly by Certified Engineers During Servicing and Disposal
- Stick to the Correct Leak-Check Schedule
- Use Only Qualified Personnel for All Leak Checks
- Keep Clear Records of Refrigerants and Servicing – Click to Download a Log Sheet
If you use non-stationary equipment (like mobile units in trucks) or other systems with F-Gases, you’ll also need to make sure gas recovery is handled by someone qualified, so long as it’s possible and cost-effective.

Frequency of F-Gas Checks
If you’re responsible for equipment that uses refrigerants, it’s important to stay on top of F-Gas regulations. Our qualified F-Gas engineers are here to help you keep everything compliant, safe, and running smoothly.
The frequency of leak checks depends on how much F-Gas is in your system.
Here’s a quick guide:
- Once a Year for Systems with 3kg or More of F-Gases (or 6kg if Hermetically Sealed and Clearly Labelled)
- Every Six Months for Systems with 30kg or More
- Every Three Months for Systems with 300kg or More
If your system contains 300kg or more, you’ll also need an automatic leak detection system installed. The good news? When that’s in place, your regular check schedule is cut in half.
And if a leak is found and repaired, it’s essential to follow up with another check within one month to make sure the fix worked.
Need help navigating these requirements? Our team is just a call away.
Maintenance & Service Records
If you operate any stationary system with 3kg or more F-Gases, it’s your responsibility to keep clear, up-to-date records.
These should include:
- The Amount and Type Of F-Gases Installed, Added, or Recovered
- The Name of the Company or Technician Who Did the Work, Along with Your Own Details
- The Dates and Results of Leakage Checks – Especially for Equipment Holding 30kg or More of Refrigerant
It’s also up to you to make sure that anyone working on your system has the proper qualifications and certifications. That way, you know they understand the F-Gas regulations and can do the job safely and correctly.
