Compliance documents for hvac engineers

Generate these documents in under 30 seconds from your project details.

RAMS

Risk Assessment & Method Statement

Required for site-based HVAC work. Must cover refrigerant handling, working at height, heavy lifting, and electrical isolation.

COSHH Assessment

Hazardous substances assessment

Required when handling refrigerants, brazing flux, nitrogen, compressor oils, and cleaning chemicals.

Risk Assessment

Hazard identification and control measures

Required for all HVAC work. Covers refrigerant leaks, high-pressure systems, working at height, manual handling, and electrical hazards.

Method Statement

Step-by-step safe system of work

Often required for refrigerant recovery, system commissioning, and rooftop plant installations.

Key regulations for hvac engineers

Our templates are built around these requirements so your documents are compliant from the start.

F-Gas Regulations 2014

Control the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases. Require leak checks, record keeping, proper recovery of refrigerants, and certification of engineers handling F-Gas refrigerants.

REFCOM

The F-Gas company certification scheme. Companies handling refrigerants must hold REFCOM (or equivalent) certification and employ F-Gas qualified engineers.

Energy Performance Regulations 2012

Require energy performance certificates for buildings. HVAC systems must meet minimum efficiency standards. Air conditioning systems over 12kW require regular inspections.

CDM 2015

Applies to HVAC installation and maintenance on construction sites. RAMS must cover refrigerant handling, working at height (rooftop units), and electrical isolation.

Frequently asked questions

What is F-Gas certification?

F-Gas certification is a legal requirement for anyone who installs, maintains, services, repairs, or decommissions equipment containing fluorinated refrigerants. Individual engineers need a Category I-IV certificate (City & Guilds 2079). Companies need REFCOM or equivalent certification. Without F-Gas certification, handling refrigerants is illegal.

Do HVAC engineers need COSHH assessments?

Yes. HVAC work involves several hazardous substances: F-Gas refrigerants (R410A, R32, R134a), brazing flux, nitrogen (oxygen depletion risk in confined spaces), compressor oils, and cleaning chemicals. Each substance needs a COSHH assessment covering health hazards, exposure controls, PPE requirements, and emergency procedures.

What records must I keep for F-Gas compliance?

Under F-Gas Regulations 2014, you must maintain records of: all refrigerant quantities added or recovered, leak check results and dates, details of the equipment serviced (including refrigerant type and charge), and engineer certification details. These records must be kept for at least 5 years and made available to enforcement authorities on request.
