Re: Refrigeration Legislation
Steve – At this time this certificate only applies to work on R134a appliances and is designed to cover us until they disappear and we have only R600a to play with. Regarding a course for Hydro-Carbon refrigerants (R600a), Grimsby College, Graham Dixon and me had a meeting on Tuesday and are in the midst of getting a training course approved by C&G
Re: Refrigeration Legislation
The emails have been flying between Defra and me and I now have most of the bits in place. However, today I was bowled a googly and need a concensus. The offer made by the WTA was that we would certificate our own people free of charge but would charge £25 to register a non WTA person. HM Treasury have indicated that this would not be acceptable as those non members of WTA would be subsidising the WTA. I disagreed turning it around saying that the WTA should not cough up funds for non members. This was also rejected. Having moved the goal posts they now have indicated that for the WTA to be allowed to issue certificates we have to issue to anyone who presents their evidence. Normally, I would just tell them to stick it but I feel we should stay with this as it gives an input when 2011 get here and they come up with something else. With this in mind could I suggest that we offer to charge everyone £25 which will generate some funds and those that sign up and are WTA members get a discount on their next years subs. This will keep HMT off our backs as we are seen to be charging the same rate to everyone. I am sure we could bias things to dissuade those that we dont want to register. Let me know which way you want to go :rolls:

Re: Certificates
Strangely I was asked by a national carehome to provide them with some form of certificate of competence during the week. Whilst I can bash them over the head with fridge qualifications I wan unable to provide anything for washer repairs. I’ve been on loads of manufacturer courses over the years but I have never had any papers to prove it. Perhaps this is one for the WTA to have a look at – shouldn’t be to hard to get the work providers/manufacturers to provide evidence of experience and us to supply a certificate 😀
Re: News
You could do the bit about in house certification for fridge engineers if you wanted as both DASA and Refcom are touting their wares even though like us they have not been approved. If you wanted you could be really naughty and use the f-gas and defra logos like DASA 8) But I know you really like to have the ducks in order first. Seems since my query about stationary systems its died a death – wonder why?? 😀 Whilst I think about it can you let me have my user name and password by pm as I’ve never been able to get on it either :rolls:

Re: Servis M6602W Diagnostics
If the last three digits on the part number of the board (starting with 546) are 203 you have the Janus board. This does not have a self diagnostic program on it – diagnostic test are carried out by plugging in a Servis specific PDA. 🙁
Re: zannussi f/f
Well I suppose that since it took two years to leak out in theory it should take another two to do the same. But as we all know life’s not as simple as that 8)
