Fluorinated greenhouse gases (f-gases)

If you work with equipment that contains fluorinated greenhouse gases (f-gases), you often need a certificate. This applies to activities with gases and equipment covered by Regulation (EU) No EU 2024/573. Company certification is also required for some activities. In addition to the requirements covered by EU 2024/573, Sweden has special requirements of certificates for mobile equipment in Regulation (2016:1128) on fluorinated greenhouse gases. For the recovery of fluorinated greenhouse gases from air-conditioning equipment in motor vehicles, EU 2024/573 requires training attestation.

Application for accreditation as a certification body

Swedac examins the application for accreditation to certify cooling and heat pump technologies, fire protection and air condition in vehicles and supervises the certification bodies. The certification activities must be notified to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. 
Certification for electrical switchgear are subject to accreditation for stationary refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment. 

The permit refers to accreditation to certify persons who work with equipment containing f-gases and which are covered by EU regulation EU 2024/573.

 

Sweden recognizes certificates issued in other EU Member States and states in the European Economic Area (EEA). Those certificates are therefore valid in Sweden but shall be translated into Swedish. Presumptions for a certificate to be valid are stated in the f-gas regulation (2016: 1128), 22-30§§ and 34§.

Detailed information about which activities require certificates is set out in the regulations below. Read more about regulations in each link at the bottom of the page.
