The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is calling the attention of all refrigeration and air conditioning service and repair shops. Starting July 1, 2006, the Department Administration Order No. 3, Series of 2006 (DAO 3:2006) entitled "Further Amending Certain Provisions of Ministry Order No. 32, Series of 1985, as amended, Particularly Providing for Standard Classification for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Service and Repair Enterprises" will implement the new law which will govern accreditation of such service and repair shops.
According to Regional Director Dominic P. Abad, the move is DTI’s commitment to the National chlorofluorocarbon Phase-Out Plan (NCPP) spearheaded by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Chlorofluorocarbon, which is used as refrigerant or cooling agent in the manufacture and repair of refrigerators and air conditioners, is found to be an ozone depleting substance when released in the air. The ozone layer protects the earth from the harmful ultra violet rays of the sun, thus, ozone depletion is damaging to humans, animals, plants and the environment.
With the DAO3:2006, the requirements of national ozone depleting substances (ODS) phase-out embodied in the NPCC, is incorporated. The salient features of DAO 3:2006 include:
1. Category C which is the standard of classification for air conditioning and refrigeration service and repair shops is expanded to cover: a) Type A for Window Type air conditioning/domestic refrigeration requirements; b) Type B for Package Type Air Conditioning (PACU)/Commercial Refrigeration (CRE) which include split type and all stationary refrigeration and air conditioning not included in Category A requirements; and c) Type C for Transport Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Requirements;
2. Tools upgrading and inclusion of recovery and recycling equipment which can be availed of by DTI accredited repair and service shops through DENR’s Voucher System. The Voucher System is a financial assistance wherein a grant of up to P100,000.00 intended to purchase tools and equipment for proper servicing, is extended to accredited repair and service shops that have completed the requirements of the DENR. These shops should have registered with either the DTI, SEC, LGU and/or CDA before July 1, 2004 and have at least one full time technician. A total of 3,030 vouchers will be issued nationwide, 50 vouchers of which are earmarked for Region – 6 on a first-come, first-serve basis;
3. Technicians employed by the repair and service shops must secure appropriate TESDA National Certificate;
4. Increase in Insurance Policy of repair shops between P50,000 to P100,000 depending on their star rating; and
5. Inclusion of Performance Bond of not less than P50,000 to guarantee the faithful performance of the job by the service or repair shops.
