In the first half of January, the government adopted a regulation for the so-called. Act f-gas (May 15, 2015. On substances that deplete the ozone layer and on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases), adjust our rules to the EU. We will better control what emissions may occur through the use of so-called. refrigerants. One of the provisions concerns the so-called. Central Registry Operator (CRO), which took up running the Institute of Industrial Chemistry. prof. Ignacy Moscicki in Warsaw. To register to hit data refrigeration, air conditioning, fire and heat pumps . But only those that contain at least 3 kg of controlled substances or fluorinated greenhouse gases. – Ordinary air conditioners used in offices or homes, rather, does not apply because the filling factor rarely exceeds them 3 kg – explains Robert GREJCZ of the National Refrigeration Forum brings together more than 120 companies. But under the new rules are already the subject shops possessing shelves refrigeration, pharmaceutical industry, food processing plants, growers and farmers storing eg. Apples in cold rooms.
Each unit must now have a special card in which will determine, among others, the type and amount of refrigerant. As he explains Joanna Józefiak from the Ministry of Environment – Central Register of operators from January 13 hangs on the website of the Institute of Industrial Chemistry, where interested will find all the information. Cards must be drawn far to 14 March.
After this deadline, controllers will be able to impose penalties for non-card unit – from 600 to 3 thousand. zł. The amount of the penalty depends on, among others, the impact on the environment, current activities of the entity that committed the infringement and its effects.
Time is not much, and it seems that not everyone is aware of the new requirement. As we heard at the institute, so far the cards have been created for 600 devices refrigeration and air conditioning . They reported less than 100 companies. Among the retailers, in the hands of which is at least tens of thousands of devices so far reported only one company. Meanwhile, the number of operating devices market is estimated at a minimum of 500-600 thousand. Some estimates say about a million pieces. The last time the number of devices verified seven years ago: there were 300 thousand.
Why register goes like december Changes to know the biggest players, with their own legal office. Worse in smaller enterprises. – not reached us no information on the matter – we hear from the employee store network Polish Gniezno. I do not know too Jaroslaw Bętkowski network SPAR. – We are surprised by this news – and admits podpytuje where you seek knowledge. Do not they know about CRO processors and producers of fruits and vegetables, using large refrigeration chambers. An example of a Department of Fruit and Vegetable Processing “Almar” – there is also the question of whether the reported already to the CRO, their eyes wide.
The Institute of Industrial Chemistry ensure, however, that was conducted educational campaign . – We informed the company and the industry associations e-mail and through our website. Also, networks are reminded of the impending deadline. Therefore, we expect that the response from the commercial networks will be more – we hear at the institute.
Information Policy Ministry of the Environment is also modest. Joanna Józefiak the World Cup talks about it in the clerical style: “The creation of a Central Registry Operator has been posted January 13, 2016 r. On the website of a specialized unit and January 26 on the website of the Ministry of Environment. In addition, information on the assumptions of the Act, as well as the same Act and its implementing regulations, and design documents and obligations arising from these provisions are regularly published on the Ministry’s website and the website of a specialized unit “. As for the Institute of Industrial Chemistry.
There are no specialists qualified to repair and service
little interest in the newly created registry stems both from ignorance and from the calculation. Owners more profitable to register your device closer to the deadline (in March) than now. Why? To register in the CRO and assumptions card device or a fire protection system does not require any certification. The problem starts when you have already registered device to spoil or necessary will be his overview. Repair and maintenance will be able to make only one skilled in the relevant certificate. The granting them moved, but only at the beginning of this year. Although you do not need to pass a mandatory training is to gain the power necessary to pass the exam. Which is very difficult to save because the shortage of places. As we checked on the sides of the Technical Inspection Office, the registry units training yesterday there were just nine players, three of them with two Poznan and Warsaw. So if someone signs up now your device, and soon it will be a failure, you may find that the lack of specialists with the powers to deal with failure.
According to government certificates should gain approx. 7 thousand. people. Meanwhile, the refrigeration industry estimates that it takes them three times to system maintenance of these devices can function smoothly. In accordance with the provisions of the so-called. Law f-gas (Art. 21) certificate for the staff can get an adult who has not been convicted of an offense against the environment and has made a positive result theoretical and practical examination before the Examining Board appointed by the Evaluation Unit staff and submitted a relevant application. In this case, the training is not mandatory.
