19. Results since ..
• The HMCB&IT operating started on the 6th of
July 2009,
• Took over the database of the HRACA,
• for some months quick-registration
opportunities at refrigeration selling points, on
site in the IT system,
• Now up to 1200 companies, with valid
certifications
20. Results since ..
• Persons are on different opinion -
preconditions, e-learning of the Fgas assesment,
• Certified companies are strongly interested in a
proper working system, but the some others…
• Operators slowly realize the „need” of doing so
and are happy,
• The authorities have been waked up and happy
to/will be informed properly (!!not to control
the companies/ operators can be find in the IT
system!!)
21. Results since ..
• Only problem are the related costs, as:
– Personnel certification 100-600, or more €s
depending on categories required and the former
knowledge,
– Company certification (fluent procedure, yearly 40-
120€ about),
– Operators yearly expenditures: 6€ by circuit + 10€
cent/kg /year IT fee.
