F-Gas regulation & GWP

  1. What F-Gases Are and Why They Are ControlledThe GB F-gas regime, climate impact, CO2-equivalent calculations, supply controls and servicing restrictions. Premium

Refrigerants & safety classes

  1. Refrigerant Families and Safety ClassificationThe main refrigerant families, how their GWP compares, and how the A/B and 1 to 3 safety classes work. Premium

Leak checking & records

  1. Leak Checks, Frequencies and RecordsThe CO2-equivalent thresholds that trigger leak checks, the minimum frequencies, and the records to keep. Premium

Certification & who may work

  1. Who May Work on the Refrigerant Circuit: F-Gas CertificationWho may break into the refrigerant circuit, the personnel categories I to IV, the company certificate, who may buy refrigerant, and why certification exists. Premium

Recovery, handling & safety

  1. Safe Recovery, Evacuation and Refrigerant HazardsContainment during circuit work, recovery routes, cylinder fill control, evacuation and refrigerant hazards. Premium

Keep refrigerant quantities and responsibilities distinct

When revising F-Gas questions, distinguish refrigerant mass from its CO2-equivalent and identify the equipment and activity described. Explain the information needed for a calculation or record instead of choosing a familiar number without its context.

The F-Gas certification guide explains who needs which category, the leak-check thresholds and the record duties in one place. The air-source heat-pump notes connect refrigerant-system knowledge to the wider heating installation. Follow the current requirements for your jurisdiction and qualification; a heat-pump installation topic and permission to undertake refrigerant work are separate matters.
