IOR Members are being invited to take part in an industry-wide refrigerant handling skills questionnaire designed to provide information on the views of the RACHP industry towards refrigerant handling training, qualifications and skills. 

This is part of the work of ACRIB (the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry Board - of which IOR is a member) to coordinate industry input to the future review of the GB F Gas Regulations. A report and summary of findings will be part of ACRIB discussions with policymakers on appropriate legislative approaches to future refrigerant handling, in order to support a safe, efficient, cost-effective industry-led approach.  

The survey was circulated by the various ACRIB member organisations on 31st March and asks questions about current refrigerant handling certification practices for F-Gases and alternatives including Flammables, Carbon Dioxide and Ammonia.  The ACRIB organisations ARC, BESA, CCF, CIBSE, CRT, FEA, FETA, and IOR.

The results will also be published on the ACRIB website in due course.
