3. DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT USING FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS
Compliance with national regulations.
4. STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT/APPLIANCES
The storage of equipment should be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
5. STORAGE OF PACKED (UNSOLD) EQUIPMENT

6. INFORMATION ON SERVICING
1) Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk
of ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to
conducting work on the system.
2) Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapour being
present while the work is being performed.
3) General work area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature work being carried out. Work
in confined spaces shall be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions
within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.
4) Checking for presence of refrigerant
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 flamma-
ble refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
5) Presence of fire extinguisher
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 CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
