F-Gas regulations explained for commercial properties
F-Gas leak checks are legally required based on CO2 equivalent charge — not just system size.
At a glance
The UK F-Gas regulations require periodic leak checks on any system containing fluorinated refrigerants.
Frequency depends on CO2-equivalent charge: 5 tonnes triggers annual checks, 50 tonnes six-monthly, 500 tonnes quarterly.
Records must be kept for at least five years and presented during ISO 14001 audits.
