SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
Recovery (For R32)
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 are 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.
Cabling (For R32)
Cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any
other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of ageing
or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
Charging procedures (For R32)
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
- Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging
equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant
contained in them.
- Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instruction.
- Ensure that the refrigerating system is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
- Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
- Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigerating system.
Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure tested with the appropriate purging gas.
The system shall be leak-tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow
up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH
Removal and evacuation (For R32)
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other purpose –
conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that
best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration.
The following procedure shall be adhered to:
• Remove refrigerant;
• Purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L);
• Evacuate (optional for A2L);
• Purge with inert gas (optional for A2L);
• Open the circuit by cutting or brazing
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. For appliances
containing flammable refrigerants other than A2L refrigerants, the system shall be purged with
oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process may
need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging
refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, other than A2L refrigerants, refrigerants
purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and
continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally
pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the
system. When the final oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to
atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing
operations on the pipe-work are to take place.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and that
ventilation is available.
Leak detection methods (For R32)
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable
refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may
not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a
refrigerant-free area.)
Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant
used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and
shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 %
maximum) is confirmed.
Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents
containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the
copper pipe-work.
NOTE
Examples of leak detection fluids are
- Bubble method
- Gluorescent method agents
12
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered
from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from
the leak. Removal of refrigerant shall be according to removal and evacuation procedure.
This unit is equipped with a refrigerant leak detector for safety. To be effective, the unit must be
electrically powered at all times after installation, other than when servicing.
This unit is equipped with electrically powered safety measures. To be effective, the unit must
be electrically powered at all times after installation, other than when servicing.
Ventilated area (For R32)
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the
system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that
the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and
preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
Detection of flammable refrigerants (For R32)
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or
detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not
be used.
Qualification of workers (For R32)
The manual shall contain specific information about the required qualification of the working
personnel for maintenance, service and repair operations. Every working procedure that affects
safety means shall only be carried out by competent persons according to Annex HH.
Examples for such working procedures are:
• Breaking into the refrigerating circuit;
• Opening of sealed components;
• Opening of ventilated enclosures.
Checks to the area (For R32)
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are
necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refrigerating system,
the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
Work procedure (For R32)
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable
gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH
General work area (For R32)
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of
work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided.
Checking for presence of refrigerant (For R32)
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to
ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak
detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking,
adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
Presence of fire extinguisher (For R32)
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts,
appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO
2
fire
extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
No ignition sources (For R32)
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves exposing any
pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition
in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources,
including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation,
repairing, removing and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be released to
the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be
surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs
shall be displayed.
Checks to the refrigeration equipment (For R32)
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the
correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be
followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
- The actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant
containing parts are installed
- The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed
- If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the
presence of refrigerant
- Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are
illegible shall be corrected
- Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be
exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the
components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are
suitably protected against being so corroded.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
Checks to electrical devices (For R32)
Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and
component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no
electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault
cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate
temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all
parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shall include (For R32)
- Capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking.
- No live electrical components and wiring are exposed While charging, recovering or purging the
system. Continuity of earth bonding
Repairs to sealed components (For R32)
During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from the
equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely
necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then a permanently
operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially
hazardous situation. Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working
on electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of protection is
affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not
made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc. Ensure that
apparatus is mounted securely. Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such
that they no longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres.
Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications
Repair to intrinsically safe components (For R32)
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that
this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence
of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating. Replace
components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition
of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
NOTE
The use of silicon sealant can inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection
equipment.
Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.
