Has Your Chiller Been Checked for Refrigerant Leaks?

In accordance with EU Regulation 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases, all refrigeration systems using refrigerants such as R407C, R410A, R134A, and similar—with a charge equivalent to 5 tonnes of CO₂ or more—must undergo an annual leak inspection by a qualified professional.

Beyond regulatory compliance, these inspections also help ensure that the condenser remains clean, allowing the unit to operate at optimal efficiency—minimising energy consumption while maintaining full cooling capacity.

F&R Products Ltd provides nationwide coverage across the UK and Ireland through a network of highly experienced and certified engineers, ready to carry out this essential service at your site.
