IoR looks to update leakage guides

realzero-logoUK: The IoR is looking for a technical author to update its REAL Zero learning materials on reducing leakage for fluorinated refrigerants.

The IoR REAL Zero materials were last updated in 2011 as part of an EU-funded learning project. It consists of five guidance notes which need updating in respect of the requirements of the 2014 F-gas Regulations and market changes.

Anyone interested must have experience of preparing training materials at vocational level and be familiar with the requirements of the new UK and EU F Gas Regulations as well as practical issues around leak detection and prevention. Up to date knowledge of developments in other related standards, regulations and industry codes of practice/guidance would also be helpful.

This will be a short term project to be carried out in June. If interested, send a brief CV to Miriam Rodway by April 30.
