WORKERS' HEALTH AND SAFETY
The European Union has issued some direcves regarding the safety and health of workers, including:: 89/391/CEE, 89/686/CEE, 2009/104/CE,
86/188/CEE and 77/576/CEE, and subsequent amendments which every employer is obliged to follow and have followed. We observe therefore
that:
The unit works with R32 refrigerant, which is included in the list of greenhouse gases (GWP 675) which are subject to the requirements in EU
regulaon n. 517/2014 called “F-GAS” (mandatory in the European zone). Among the provisions of this regulaon, it sets forth that operators
working on systems running with greenhouse gases be in possession of a cercaon, issued or acknowledged by the competent authories,
aesng that they have passed a test authorising them to perform this work. In parcular
• Up to 3kg total refrigerant in the appliance: category 2 cercaon.
• 3 kg and more total refrigerant in the appliance: category 1 cercaon.
The gaseous form of R32 refrigerant is heavier than air and if released into the environment, most of it tends to concentrate in poorly venlated
areas. Inhaling it can cause dizziness and sensaons of suocaon and can develop lethal gas if in contact with naked ames or hot objects (see
the refrigerant’s safety data sheet).
Pay aenon to the fact that refrigerant uids can be odourless
