In the last few months, the IOR Technical Committee and Service Engineers Section have issued a mixture of new guidance notes and updates to existing titles on various topics including pressure switches and fixed refrigerant detection systems, to keep members up to date with the latest technical developments in the sector. The IOR catalogue of good practice guides (GPG) for technicians and service engineers also continues to grow – with around 200 short bulletins currently available to members on the website.
All publications are available at https://www.ior.org.uk/buy-documents. Non-members can access these publications which are priced individually. There is a charge for the Conference Proceedings but all of the other publications are free to download from the website for IOR members and Service Engineers Section subscribers.
