Flammable Refrigerant Safety Guide

Please note this safety guide provides general information only and is not a comprehensive safety guide for the use of flammable refrigerants or equipment that uses flammable refrigerants.

Flammable refrigerants or equipment using flammable refrigerants can cause severe injury or death and should be handled very carefully using appropriate safety equipment. Only qualified persons who have relevant training should handle, select and use flammable refrigerants or equipment that uses flammable refrigerants.

The only refrigerant product that should be used for any job is refrigerant approved by the manufacturer. ACTROL sell a range of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment for various flammability classifications, care should be taken when selecting these to ensure compatibility with the safety classification of the refrigerant you are using. 

Please refer to the Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating (AIRAH) for additional information including the Flammable Refrigerants Safety Guide
