Demystifying the F-gas regulations

RW_Advert27608888_shomeUK: The Institute of Refrigeration is planning a one-day conference in London to explain the implications of the F-gas regulations being introduced on January 1.

The new F-gas regulation will lead to new significant changes and challenges for all those working in the UK supply chain in the stationary and transport refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sector through to end user. This conference is designed to provide clear and reliable information on these changes and how they will impact key sectors.

The organiser says delegates will gain valuable information to help their businesses and customers plan and adapt to changes with presentations from industry experts and guidance documents to take away. A panel question session at the end of the day will open the topic for delegates to raise additional issues and to explore the subject from the wider environmental, policy and international context.

The event will be held on Tuesday, November 11 at Carisbrooke Hall, London W2. The attendance fee will be £40+VAT.
