Anyone who owns or manages an air conditioning system that is over 12Kw is responsible for obtaining an assessment of their operating conditions, and ensuring they receive a regular service, inspection and maintenance check.
This inspection for 12Kw systems and above is mandatory and is enforced and regulated by the legislation laid down in Article 9 of the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) Regulations 2007.
It states that owners and companies need to employ a certified independent professional to inspect their air conditioning on regular bases.
Trading Standards are the body held responsible for enforcing these regulations and as an authorities body they can issue penalty charges for failure to comply. Therefore it is important that all the requirements are met and a TM44 report provided were necessary.
