F-Gas Regulations (CITB J11)

Crownship’s training courses meet the legal requirement of the F-Gas Regulations (EC Regulation 842/2006). Our training centre is accredited by Construction Skills (CITB).

Crownship’s F-Gas Regulations training courses are designed for both experienced air-conditioning and refrigeration engineers and also candidates who are looking to cross train and gain qualifications in the air conditioning / refrigeration sector.

All personnel whose work involves the handling of refrigerants within the scope of the F Gas regulations will need to be assessed CITB or equivalent by July 2011.

Crownship offers the new Construction Skills Training qualification to meet the legal requirements of EC Regulation 842/2006 (commonly known as the F-Gas Regulation).  The Certification Schemes are designed for operatives who install, service and repair refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump systems, and require the following skills:

  • Safe Handling of Refrigerant Techniques
  • Pipework and Jointing Skills
  • Recovery of Refrigerants (restricted to small systems only)
  • Intrusive and Non-Intrusive Leak and Performance Checking of Systems

ACRIB are concerned that with 40,000 engineers requiring re-qualification the timescales are very tight.

There are 4 competency categories for anyone who installs, services or repairs air conditioning or refrigeration equipment.

Category 1 (J11)

Crownship offer the most comprehensive Category 1 (CITB) J11 which covers all aspects of installation, commissioning, servicing, maintenance, recovery and leak checking on all refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump systems in accordance with the F-Gas Regulation EC842/2006, regardless of the weight of refrigerant in the system.

Course subjects are:

  • Fabricate and fit mechanical and brazed joints
  • Pressure test and evacuate to BSEN378
  • Charge a blended refrigerant
  • Analyse system performance to ensure efficiency
    (using pressure, temperature, refrigerant state and rule of thumb)
  • Leak test to EC1516/2007
  • Maintain F-Gas log books and records
  • Handle refrigerant safely and dispose of legally
  • Pressure Regulation compliance

All candidates will be able to ensure systems are tight, efficient in their use of energy and meet the F-Gas legal requirement
