Gas safe is the official list of gas engineers who are registered to work safely and legally on boilers, cookers, fires and all other gas appliances. Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey, appointed by the relevant Health and Safety Authority for each area. By law all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register.
The Refcom Register of Companies Competent to Manage Refrigerants (now Refcom Elite) was set up in 1994 in response to atmospheric damage caused by certain refrigerant gases. Since then the Register has evolved to cover fluorinated refrigerant gases which if released to atmosphere have a global warming potential significantly higher than CO2.
This F-Gas certification scheme is for businesses working with F-Gas refrigeration, air-conditioning & heat pump equipment containing or designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases, in accordance with Article 5.1 of EC Regulations 842/2006.
