there is still no teeth in new regulations for DIY air conditioning.
why can someone still go to a motor DIY shop and purchase a can of refrigerant and use on his vehicle with NO Knowledge of AC, NO qualifications,NO F-Gas handling purely because DEFRA says it isnt covered because there is NO recovery taking place.
and why is it still possible for people to get F-Gas qualifications and City & Guilds without actually doing anything other than a few questions during an AC Demo ???
i have complained and given instances to both DEFRA and City & Guilds.
those supporting the regulations are not being helped and they are not policing complaints
