The IOR is involved in a European project to evaluate on-going issues and future barriers to the take up of flammable refrigerants such as hydrocarbons, hfos and R32, as well as carbon dioxide and ammonia.  We want to know what your current experience has been and anticipated future needs related to their user.  Safety, training, availability of components? Complete this short survey to tell us what you think. Results will be published by the IOR to all members.
