Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an F-Gas certificate to install a split AC unit?
- Yes. Any work involving F-Gas refrigerants (R32, R410A, R454B) requires the operative to hold an EU 517/2014 Category 1 personal certificate, and the company to hold a Cat 1 company certificate. The certificate number must appear on the RAMS competency schedule and the F-Gas log entry for the install. Operating without it is a criminal offence under the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations 2015.
- What pressure test does the RAMS need to specify for refrigerant pipework?
- A nitrogen (OFN) pressure test to the manufacturer's high-side value — typically 41 bar for an R32 split system — held for 24 hours with start and end temperatures recorded, followed by a triple-evacuation vacuum to below 500 microns held for 30 minutes. The RAMS must reference PSSR 2000 and the manufacturer's commissioning data; a generic 'leak test' line will be rejected by any competent M&E coordinator.
- Is the output accepted by principal contractors?
- Yes. Riskora generates professional documents in the standard UK format with risk matrices, control measures, and method statements that principal contractors expect.
- Can I edit the document after generating it?
- Yes. Every section is editable. Add, remove, or modify hazards, controls, and method steps to match your specific site conditions.
