Title: ODP Tags
Post by: tenletters on August 28, 2018, 11:32:08 AM
Does anyone know which between the model and serial of a unit needs to be recorded on the ODP tags when adding refrigerant to a unit?

Some tags list only model or serial and others have both listed.

This is in Ontario Canada by the way.

I'm not sure you need either,

here's what is required for record keeping:

Records of use
If you hold an Ozone Depletion Prevention certificate, you must:

keep records of use (records of your activities) for at least 2 years
provide them to the Ontario government, if requested
A record of use must contain:

Refrigerants used

all amounts and types of refrigerant purchased or obtained to service or test equipment
name of the seller or supplier of the refrigerant
amount of any discharge of a refrigerant and an explanation for the discharge (whether or not it occurs in the course of servicing or testing equipment)
Names and dates

date of the servicing or testing
your name if you're doing the servicing or testing
your employer's name if the service and testing is done as part of your employment
Description of activities

a description of the servicing or testing
the amount and type or types of refrigerant used in the servicing or testing, if any
the type or types of refrigerant recaptured in the course of the servicing or testing, if any
estimate of the amount of refrigerant recaptured in the course of the servicing or testing, if any
You need to include your employer's name on:

service and testing records
leak test notices
empty notices for refrigeration equipment

hmm yeah all that is on the tag. I have been skipping model number the past year and just putting serial of the unit.

The tags we use have both, so I just put both.

So neither is really required.

Your name, certification number, expiry, test date, and test results are required.
