Gielle is an F-gas certified company and the staff it employs are also certified.
Before entrusting their equipment to third-party companies, operators must therefore check that these companies hold appropriate certification and that the staff they employ also hold appropriate certification.
Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 requires the various operations on F-gas equipment and systems to be carried out by specifically certified natural persons and undertakings.
It is therefore mandatory to use F-gas certified technical staff and companies to carry out the following activities:
maintenance, servicing and repair of F-gas equipment and systems
periodic leak checks of F-gas equipment and systems
decommissioning of F-gas equipment and systems
supply and installation of F-gas equipment and systems
supply and installation of F-gas leak detection systems
Recovery, recycling and reclamation service for fluorinated greenhouse gases
Disposal and destruction service for fluorinated greenhouse gases
All companies with staff engaged in the installation, maintenance or repair of equipment and systems containing certain fluorinated greenhouse gases (stationary refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump equipment and stationary fire protection systems) must hold specific certification issued by an Accredited Certification Body (Presidential Decree (DPR) 43/2012 published in the Official Gazette).
Company certification is valid for 5 years and is mandatory for all companies working with fluorinated greenhouse gases pursuant to European Regulations 303/2008 and 304/2008.
Certifications, both for companies and for individuals, differ according to the type of activity and are divided into:
– Installation, servicing, maintenance, repair or decommissioning of equipment containing F-gases;
– Leak checks on equipment containing F-gases;
– Recovery of F-gases.
