10.8 Logbook & EU Regulation
A logbook should be available throughout the working life of the equipment. In the EU
this is a legal requirement if the system charge is 2.3 kg or above.
The logbook needs to be updated after each maintenance to comply with
EN 378-4:2016+A1:2019 and should include the following information:
– Initial refrigerant charge following commissioning
– Details of any maintenance or repair work
– Quantities of new, re-used or recycled refrigerant additions or removals
– If there is details of re-used refrigerant, the results should be kept in the
logbook also
– The refrigerant source should also be recorded
– Changes and replacements of any components of the refrigeration system
– Results of all periodic, routine tests
– The periods of any significant non-use
Members of the EU must also comply with the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regu-
lation (EU) No. 517/2014, alongside any further country specific legislation. This regu-
lation places responsibility for record keeping and leak detection on the owner/operator
of the equipment and the company that services it.
Information required for this regulation is more comprehensive than a simple logbook
and a required period for record keeping, therefore all parties involved should have an
understanding of the regulations implications. Furthermore, individual countries can
impose stricter rules than those set within the regulation.
