THE HVAC & REFRIGERATION SHOW


Keeping one step ahead


The HVACR Show team talks to Graeme Fox, Senior Mechanical Engineer at the BESA about all things ‘industry’!


How has that service provision changed over the years? The Elite scheme was the single voluntary company


registraon scheme before F Gas became law and was known as “the REFCOM scheme”. When REFCOM was named as the UK’s company registraon scheme, and that standard was set by DEFRA to be below our current standard, we created a two er registraon to reflect the Elite members’ high standards and responsibility above and beyond what the F Gas regulaons demanded. The REFCOM scheme is the UK’s main F Gas compliance route and REFCOM has inhouse expertise of the regulations, their implications, and technical issues affecting contractors on a day to day basis. With a newly revamped website making the access


Why are you coming to the HVAC & Refrigeraon Show? Mainly to network  to meet new and old clients and friends, to see what cung edge systems and methods are available to stay ahead of the trends, and to help advise any members who come to the stand with queries and issues to discuss.


REFCOM is part of the BESA group. Tell us about the services it provides? REFCOM F Gas Cerficaon is the UK’s leading cerficaon body for the F Gas Regulaon mandatory company scheme. We audit companies on applicaon for cerficaon and randomly throughout their registraon as required under statute from DEFRA. We also respond to complaints and monitor the eecveness of the regulaon, liaising closely with both the EA and DEFRA and with other industry bodies. We also have a REFCOM Elite scheme which


registered companies can use to demonstrate best pracce and higher environmental awareness and responsibility with audited gas records and a commitment to support the industry via the ACRIB Skillcard scheme.

to technical guidance and advice easier for members, and an automated audit process currently being insgated to make it easier for companies to apply and renew registraon, we believe that REFCOM remains the essenal portal for any responsible company working in the refrigeraon, air condioning or heat pump sector. Aempts to professionalise the sector are


somemes undermined by other cerficaon bodies making claims that are not correct and by trying to make registraon a price war. That behavior doesn’t do the sector any favours in the long run as the industry tries to not just clean up its act but to demonstrate that it is cleaning up its act. By its involvement with external industry bodies and by employing experts in the sector REFCOM connues to lead the way for the responsible industry.


Where can visitors find you at the show? We’ll be at stand number C26 and available for meengs on request. We will also be taking part in some seminars and technical talks.
