If your system holds enough F-gas refrigerant, the law says it must be leak-checked regularly, and the records kept.

In Northern Ireland, those rules come from EU F-Gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573, which applies here under the Windsor Framework. Great Britain has its own, separate F-Gas regime. We work UK-wide, to whichever rules apply to your site.

Questions about F-Gas leak testing

Does my system need leak checks?

It depends on how much refrigerant it holds, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (CO2e). Systems from 5 t CO2e need checks. Read our F-Gas guide or call us.

How often?

From 5 t CO2e: every 12 months. From 50 t: every 6 months. From 500 t: every 3 months. Where a leak detection system is fitted, the intervals are doubled.

Who keeps the records?

The operator of the equipment (usually the business) must keep records for at least 5 years. We complete them after every visit.

Is it UK law?

Not quite. In Northern Ireland the EU F-Gas Regulation applies directly. Great Britain runs a separate regime. We work UK-wide and follow whichever rules apply to your site.
