Technicians handling mildly flammable refrigerant of household air-conditioners in possession of necessary qualifications and experience may apply through the Voluntary Registration Scheme for Technicians Handling Mildly Flammable Refrigerant of Household Air-conditioners for registration as registered technicians so that their qualifications and competence will gain recognition.
The registration scheme aims at enhancing the standards of the installation and repair of household air-conditioners using mildly flammable refrigerant. By adopting a progressive approach and launching a voluntary scheme first, the EMSD intends to minimise the impact on the trade and provide flexibility for future adjustments to the registration scheme in light of the developments and needs of the community and the trade.
We hope that the implementation of the registration scheme will not only improve the safety standards of handling mildly flammable refrigerant of household air-conditioners, but also bring about benefits to the public and consumers.
