Introduction Refrigerating systems, if not properly constructed, installed, operated and maintained, can be of danger to the health and safety of persons, the safety property, be detrimental to the environment and increase the energy consumption. It is therefore essential that personnel dealing with such systems are competent to carry out the activity, or activities, listed in this standard. These activities cover the particular sectors in which they may operate from original design to final dismantling and disposal. As job descriptions can vary from country to country and from company to company, this standard specifies the activities to be carried out. Job descriptions should specify these activities. This standard defines the activities related to the refrigerating circuit. SIST EN 13313:2012

NOTE
As a refrigerating circuit is considered not to incorporate electrical and electronic systems, activities in this area are not part of this standard. For competences on electrical and electronic systems, it is recommended to refer to national regulations or appropriate European or national standards. This European Standard does not apply to persons carrying out work on self contained refrigerating systems as defined in EN 378-1 from the initial design of the product to the complete manufacture of the product, provided the process is controlled and the methods used are checked by an organisation or individual, responsible for the compliance with statutory requirements on health, safety and environment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

evaluation body organisation which is recognised to assess (evaluate) the competence of persons working on refrigerating circuits 3.3 certification body organisation which issues/awards certificates proving the competence of persons working on refrigerating circuits NOTE 1 Depending on national regulations, assessment bodies and certification bodies may be the same or different organisations.
NOTE 2 General criteria for certification bodies can be found in EN ISO/IEC 17024. 3.4 competence ability to perform safely and satisfactorily the activities within an occupation SIST EN 13313:2012

Persons shall be deemed competent if it can be demonstrated that they are capable of carrying out the activities listed in this standard. 4.2 Competence levels 4.2.1 General Persons shall demonstrate a level of predefined competence as defined in 3.21, 3.22, 3.23, and 3.24, of their theoretical and/or practical ability as necessary for the activity in question, as set out in Annex A. 4.2.2 Requirements for evaluation and certification procedures The evaluation and certification procedures dealing with the competence of persons related to the refrigerating circuit shall be done according to the procedures defined in EN ISO/IEC 17024.
4.2.3 Requirements for competence assessment methods If competence assessment methods are defined by national regulations, they shall be used. If competence assessment methods are not defined by national regulations, they shall be used according to Annex A.
Competence assessment methods A.1 General If no national legislation for a scheme to access and certify competence exists, the following methods shall be used.
A.2 Areas of assessment A.2.1 General All persons who demonstrate their practical and theoretical competence by being successfully assessed by an approved organisation should receive a certificate of competence. A.2.2 Tables The following tables indicate areas and subjects that need to be assessed to demonstrate competence. The row on the top of each table denotes the activities to be assessed as defined in Clause 3. The column on the left side of each table denotes the subject to be assessed.
The cells of the table give the level of expertise as defined in 3.21(BA), 3.22(WK), 3.23(FO) and 3.24(LE).
Theoretical assessment is shown by an unshaded cell and practical assessment by a shaded cell. A.2.3 Type of assessment A.2.3.1 Theory is the knowledge of the subject of operation without the ability to demonstrate practical skills. The assessment should be by written or oral examination. A.2.3.2 Practice is the ability to perform an operation by demonstrating practical skills in the subject the assessment should be by practical tests. SIST EN 13313:2012
