Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14. Labeling
Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label
shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains
flammable refrigerant.
15. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended
good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure
that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of
cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the
recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant).
Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order.
Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment
that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants.In addition, a set of
calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with
leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is
in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components
are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt. The
recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the
relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged.
Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor
oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that
flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out
prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be
employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
Non-duct connected appliances containing A2L refrigerants with the supply and return air openings in
the conditioned space may have the body of the appliance may be installed in open areas such as false
ceilings not being used as return air plenums, as long as the conditioned air does not directly communicate
with the air of the false ceiling.
