Approved SF6 courses
July 1st 2010

EA Technology comments that Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) is an ideal arc suppressant for high voltage switchgear, but has the highest Global Warming Potential of any fluorinated gas. Just 1kg has the same environmental effect as 22.2t of CO2.

Since July 2009, EU Regulations 842/2006 and 305/2008 have made it mandatory that anyone handling or recovering SF6 has attended an approved training course, passed an assessment set by an approved evaluation and competency body, and been issued with a certificate of competence.

EA Technology offers Government and IET approved training and certification for anyone involved in the handling of SF6, as well as training for managers and supervisors.

Senior consultant, Gary Eastwood says: "There are fines for non-compliance, but the greatest motivation is our responsibility, within industry, to use SF6 in a safe and environmentally friendly manner."
