Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Competence of personnel
This Standard establishes procedures for achieving and assessing the competence of persons who design, install, test and commission, maintain, repair and dispose of refrigerating systems with respect to health, safety, environmental and energy conservation requirements. This European Standard does not apply to those persons who carry out work on the basis of instructions if they are supervised by a competent person.

About This Item
TS EN 13313 is a standard focused on methods for assessing the competence of personnel working with refrigerating systems and heat pumps. It addresses people involved in design, installation, inspection, testing, commissioning, maintenance, repair, decommissioning, and management, with attention to health, safety, environmental protection, and energy conservation.
What the competence concept means in this field
In this technical area, competence is more than general workshop ability. Refrigeration and heat pump systems involve pressurised circuits, refrigerants, sealing integrity, energy efficiency, and environmental considerations. A competent person is therefore expected to combine practical skill with an understanding of system behaviour, safe handling principles, and the effects of intervention on overall performance.
The standard also makes an important boundary distinction. It does not apply to people carrying out work under instruction when they are supervised by a competent person, or when their work does not affect the refrigerant circuit. It likewise excludes certain manufacturing activities where the process and methods are controlled. This separation helps distinguish direct system-critical work from more limited tasks carried out under supervision.
This listing refers to a withdrawn edition of TS EN 13313. Even so, its subject remains technically relevant because competence management is central to safe, efficient operation across refrigeration and heat pump applications.
