Specialist’s Manual
Aptitude requirement for maintenance man (repairs. should be done only be specialists).
a) Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid
certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorises their competence to handle
refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry recognised assessment specifìcation.
b) Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair
requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supevision of the person competent
in the use of flammable refrigerants.
Safety preparation work
The maximum refrigerant charge amount is shown on the following table a

Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that
the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied
with prior to conducting work on the system.
Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable gas or vapour being
present while the work is being performed.
General work area
AII maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried out.
Work in confined spaces shall be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the
conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.
Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician
is aware of potentially toxic or flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is
suitable for use with all applicable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
Presence of fire extinguisher
lf any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire
extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the
charging area.
No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves exposing any pipe work shall use
any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. AII possible ignition sources,
including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and
disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking piace, the
area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. "No
Smoking" signs shall be displayed.
Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting
any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation
should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
Checks to the refrigeration equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and tohe correct specification. At
all times the manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. lf in doubt, consult the
manufacturer's technical department for assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
---The actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are
installed;
---The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately andare not obstructed;
---lf an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
---Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be
corrected;
