The refrigeration and air-conditioning sector is undergoing a profound transformation. The progressive phase-out of high-GWP refrigerant gases mandated by European F-Gas Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014, and by ongoing regulatory revisions, is pushing the entire industry towards a new generation of low-environmental-impact refrigerants: A2L class gases such as R32, R454B and R452B, and A3 class gases such as propane R290 and isobutane R600a.
These refrigerants are more eco-friendly, but they introduce a risk that technicians cannot ignore: they are flammable. Working with A2L and A3 class substances requires specific competencies, devices certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, and full compliance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, transposed in Italy by Legislative Decree 85/2016. This is not a choice or an optional precaution: it is a legal obligation, with direct implications for the safety of operators, facilities and end customers.
In this context, having the right tools makes the difference between a safe intervention and a risky one. The ATEX Plus Kit from GeneralGas was designed precisely for this purpose: a complete, certified, ready-to-use system for refrigeration professionals who want to operate in full regulatory compliance, without compromising on quality or safety. Every component of the kit has been selected from the best brands in the industry — VALUE, Fieldpiece, GK-Tools — guaranteeing high performance, field reliability and compatibility with the new A2L and A3 refrigerants.
