6) No ignition sources
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.
7) Ventilated area
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.
8) Checks to the refrigeration equipment
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

t The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which
the refrigerant containing parts are installed;
t The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and
are not obstructed;
t 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;
t 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.
9) Checks to electrical devices
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:
t That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner
to avoid possibility of sparking;
2 Warnings (for using R290 refrigerant only)

15 / 224 EN
t That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed
while charging, recovering or purging the system;
t That there is continuity of earth bonding.
7. Repairs to sealed components
1) 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 isabsolutely 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.
2) 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.
C
Note:
The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of
some types of leak detection equipment. Intrinsically safe
components do not have to be isolated prior to working
on them.
2 Warnings (for using R290 refrigerant only)
Local air conditioner

16 / 224 EN
8. Repair to intrinsically safe components
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.
9. Cabling
Check that 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 aging
or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
10. Detection of flammable refrigerants
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.
11. Leak detection methods
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 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. 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. Oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged through the
system both before and during the brazing process.
12. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any
other purpose conventional procedures shall be used. However, it
is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a
consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:
t Remove refrigerant;
t Purge the circuit with inert gas;
t Evacuate;
t Purge again with inert gas;
t Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery
cylinders. The system shall be flushed with OFN to render the
Local air conditioner

18 / 224 EN
2 Warnings (for using R290 refrigerant only)
unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times.
Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task.
Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system
with OFN 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 OFN 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 ignition sources and there is ventilation available.
13. Charging procedures
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 upright.
Ensure that the refrigeration 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 refrigeration system.
Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN.
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.

14. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician
is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is
recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered
safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant
sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of
reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available
before the task is commenced.
a. Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b. Isolate system electrically.
c. Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
Mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for
handling refrigerant cylinders;
All personal protective equipment is available and being used
correctly; The recovery process is supervised at all times by a
competent person;
Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate
standards.
d. Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
e. If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can
be removed from various parts of the system.
f. Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery
takes place.
g. Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with
manufacturer’s instructions.
Local air conditioner

2 Warnings (for using R290 refrigerant only)
h. Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
i. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even
temporarily.
j. When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process
completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment
are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the
equipment are closed off.
k. Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another
refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.
15. Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-
commissioned 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.
16. 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
