Refrigerators, air conditioners and heat pumps are one of the largest users of ozone-generating substances and industrial greenhouse gases both overseas and in our country. This area is in the process of being constantly updated, with special emphasis on the training and retraining of professional staff.

Confirmation of this is the fact that on April 13, 2016, an amendment was made to the Law of Georgia on Protection of Atmospheric Air, Article 541. "Regulation of Emission of Refrigerants into the Atmosphere", p. According to Article 2, only a technician certified by the legislation of Georgia shall have the right to service the refrigerator equipment to meet the safety and environmental requirements. According to the same article, to comply with the Georgian standard - SST 70: 13 "On the Safety and Environmental Requirements of Refrigeration Systems and Heat Pumps", it is mandatory to reduce refrigerant emissions into the territory of Georgia.

At the same time, no educational institution in Georgia provides professional training of refrigeration equipment and heat pump technicians. Now the only accredited professional education program for artificial cooling direction is "air conditioning", which is provided by the service practices of the main elements - the refrigerants in the collection, recycling, identification and secure environment for the storage and ganadgureba.dasazustebelia terminology, because the documents Technical Translation errors cause great uncertainty. First of all, it should be emphasized that the English term "refrigeration" corresponds to the Georgian "refrigeration technique" and not to "refrigeration". Because of this, refrigeration equipment is generally dropped from the ISCO and ISCED classifiers in Georgian, while the original documents include - 7127 Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanics. Vocational Education Program Framework Document Sh The work process and we did not participate in the discussion. But we are ready to contribute to the implementation of vocational education in line with international requirements in our country. We consider the following documents to be processed and processed: 1. Approved Professional Standards - Installation of Ventilation and Air Conditioning System (Level 3); Refrigeration Equipment Technician (Level 3) .2. Accredited Vocational Education Program “Air Conditioning” .3. "Professional Refrigerator and Household Air Conditioning Systems Technician" project of professional education program and professional standard project of the same name.

Based on the aforementioned, please let us know, what are the steps to remedy the deficiencies in order to artificial cooling is employed in the field of employment and professional training / retraining is carried out in accordance with international requirements and contribute to the sector's environmental and safety point of view proper development.
