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.
