What is a requirement for companies involved in handling F-Gases?

Companies involved in handling F-Gases are required to be certified and ensure their technicians are qualified. This is essential because the handling of F-Gases is regulated to prevent environmental harm due to the potential impact of these gases on ozone depletion and climate change. Certification demonstrates that a company meets industry standards for safety, environmental protection, and technical competence. Ensuring that technicians are qualified means they have completed necessary training and testing to handle F-Gases appropriately, minimizing the risk of leaks and accidents during service or maintenance.

This requirement helps create a standardized approach to training across the industry, ensuring that all personnel involved in the handling of these potentially hazardous substances have the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their duties safely and effectively.
