6 HISTORY Through a voluntary registration process the safe handling of refrigerants started in 2000 this was replaced by a mandatory registration based on the Pressure Equipment Regulations through SAQCC Gas on behalf of the Department of Labour on 15 th July 2009
7 HISTORY This mandatory registration called for gas practitioners to be registered and authorised to sign Certificates of Conformity What was termed Authorised Person in the definitions means a person who is registered as competent within the scope of work for which an organisation approved by the chief inspector (DoL) has registered that person an SAQCC (Gas) registered gas practitioner in the applicable field
8 HISTORY The Pressure Equipment Regulations Published in July 2009 and guide lines were published in the Government Gazette over the years since
9 HISTORY What is termed the Authorised Person in the definitions and in Regulation 17.2 & 3 is called an Authorised Refrigeration Gas Practitioner
10 Objectives of Registration To ensure that only competent personnel work on the installation, maintenance and repair of refrigeration and air conditioning systems This must be in compliance of the law, regulations, standards and international protocols to the benefit of the plant owner, user and community
11
12 Objectives of Registration a commitment from the industry including CONTRACTORS, PRACTITIONERS and TRAINING INSTITUTIONS
13 Objectives of Registration and a commitment from Including Suppliers of refrigeration equipment and Suppliers of air conditioning equipment
14 The objective of competence? Meet the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Regulations Comply with the Montreal Protocol and Amendments and South African National Standard 10147
