- Using a Shrader Torque Tool (GPG50)
- Setting High-Pressure Switches (GPG47)
- Low GWP Alternative Refrigerants for New Systems - Safety Considerations (GPG53)
- Setting Low-Pressure Switches (GPG46)
- Using Recovery Cylinders (GPG45)

They will be of interest to technicians, service engineers, installers and maintenance experts. If you are a Technician or employ Technicians please pass this information on.
Members are sent newly printed bulletins every quarter and IOR or Section members can download them for free from the IOR website. (The bulletins are currently unavailable to non-members).
Membership of the section is just £42 per year and includes a subscription to receive printed copies of new bulletins quarterly, immediate access to all downloads, including past bulletins and an annual CPD certificate.
