Does a service record replace F gas duties?

GOV.UK describes leak-check and record-keeping duties for relevant F gas equipment. Requirements depend on the equipment and refrigerant. Identify the applicable regime and keep the required refrigerant records separately or by a clearly linked reference.

Last updated . Facts checked by the SiteSurvey team on 6 October 2026 against GOV.UK checking F gas equipment for leaks, GOV.UK recording F gas in equipment and HSE maintenance of work equipment.

Fill it in on a phone or tablet

Your team completes the chiller maintenance on site in the SiteSurvey app on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. The project name and address fill in for them, it works without signal, and it syncs when the device is back online with photos kept against the question they answer.

Customers and subcontractors do not need the app: send them a link and they can fill it in from any browser.

Every question in the chiller maintenance template

A chiller maintenance record with equipment details, water circuit and refrigerant observations, operating readings, service work and handback limits. 6 sections and 46 questions. Follow-up questions and guidance appear only when an answer calls for them, so the person on site never sees the ones that do not apply.

Make it your own: every question is editable

This is a starting point, not a fixed form. Once it is in your SiteSurvey account you can reword any question, add or remove questions, sections and answer options, and add your own logo, so it fits the way your team works and the jobs you do.

Details you only enter once

Add this form to a project in SiteSurvey and it fills in what the project already knows, so nobody on site retypes it and every form on the job uses the same names. Anything filled in can still be changed.

Scope and responsibility

For competent chiller technicians using the manufacturer procedure. This record does not calculate statutory leak-check intervals, authorise refrigerant handling or replace pressure-system examinations.

What a useful entry looks like

Post-work tests and evidence

Record the authorised test, operating conditions and result against the specified criterion. Do not turn one reading into a general performance guarantee.

Functional check recorded under procedure CH-12. Operating conditions and readings are attached; seasonal performance was outside this visit's scope.

Chiller Maintenance FAQs

How should I record “Post-work tests and evidence”?

Record the authorised test, operating conditions and result against the specified criterion. Do not turn one reading into a general performance guarantee.

Which readings can I record?

Add water temperatures, pressures, electrical readings or other parameters specified by the manufacturer. Each needs a unit, acceptance source and instrument reference where applicable.

Are refrigerant limits supplied?

No. Enter the correct equipment data and applicable requirements; the form does not assume one refrigerant or jurisdiction.

What distinguishes this from a general HVAC visit?

It adds chiller identification, water-circuit details, refrigerant record references and repeatable operating measurements.

What are the limits of this template?

For competent chiller technicians using the manufacturer procedure. This record does not calculate statutory leak-check intervals, authorise refrigerant handling or replace pressure-system examinations.

Can I complete this form on site and share the record?

In the SiteSurvey app the form works offline, with photos and signatures recorded against the questions. Share the completed record as a PDF or a link. Dates and action owners are recorded fields; this form does not send reminders or update other systems.
