| Classification of suction systems into groups |
| Mobile suction and charging systems for charging pressurized gas tanks fixed to the system. |
| The refrigerant or the mixture of refrigerant and refrigerant oil is charged into the pressurized gas tanks which are permanently joined or fixed to the mobile systems. According to Regulation COM (2003) 492 regarding fluorinated gases (11/08/03), in this case, the pressurized gas tanks must be equivalent to pressurized tanks. |
| The charging systems do not require: |
| t
| or an inspection by experts, seeing as the gas is charged into pressurized gas tanks equivalent to pressurized tanks. (Nonetheless, the system used to charge the pressurized gas tanks to be delivered to third parties from these pressurized tanks does require the corresponding permit and is subject to compulsory inspections). |
Note | In the case of service and recycling equipment used in automotive workshops, these suction and charging equipment do not require a permit (Group 3), but may only be handled by duly qualified personnel. The handling and maintenance of the equipment is described in the corresponding manufacturer’s documentation. |
