It is against the law to work with F gas if you do not have the correct qualifications. Installers could receive a civil penalty for breaking the law. See the Environment Agency enforcement sanctions policy.
An F-Gas Register is an official certification body appointed by the government (DEFRA in the UK) to legally register and certify businesses and personnel working with stationary equipment containing fluorinated greenhouse gases.
- What the F-Gas Register Does, Company Certification: Issues mandatory legal certification for businesses and sole traders that install, maintain, service, repair, or decommission systems like air conditioning, refrigeration, and heat pumps.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensures companies comply with national F-Gas regulations designed to prevent leaks of harmful greenhouse gases
