Technical
This catalogue showcases the breadth of technical information produced by the IOR in collaboration with members, volunteering their time, associated and international groups and manufacturers. It lists a broad mix of publications, including a substantial library of practical guidance for technicians, reflecting the IOR diverse membership and the Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pump (RACHP) industry needs.
The IOR has a remit to promote professional standards, public safety and help to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Its publications, alongside the events and training programme disseminates relevant, accurate and independent technical information to members and the RACHP industry.
We actively encourage you to share this with co-workers and anyone else you think will benefit from its use.
