The charge size 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 damaged
or illegible shall be replaced with new ones; Refrigeration pipe or components shall be
installed in a places 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 corroded in this manner.
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 fact shall be reported to the owner
of the equipment. Initial safety checks shall determine that: Capacitors are discharged:
this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid the possibility of sparking; There are no live
electrical components and wiring exposed while charging, recovering or purging the
system; .That there is continuity of earth bonding.
7. Repairs to sealed components
1) During repairs of 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.
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 cable glands, etc.
Ensure that all electrical devices are connected and mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded to such an extent that they
no longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmosphere.
Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
