Follow the latest trends in refrigeration, regulatory changes and updates from our centre.
We have expanded AB 308 accreditation: Ecodesign (EU) 2024/1834 for fans, ISO 5149-2 for system tightness, and the PN-EN 14825 compensation method for heat pumps.
On 28 September 2026 at the National Stadium in Warsaw we gave a talk on testing, certification and performance assessment of HVAC systems at Innovation Studio Poland, organised by Johnson Controls Europe.
The CE mark is a legal obligation for manufacturers, not a voluntary quality label. Find out which products require CE marking, when a notified body must be involved, and how the conformity assessment process works.
We're launching two new stational trainings for refrigerated transport — on the ATP Agreement and on Good Distribution Practice (GDP). Find out who they're for and how to register.
The Central Refrigeration Centre “COCH” in Kraków has joined the narrow group of bodies holding defence and security accreditation granted by the Minister of National Defence. In April 2026 COCH obtained two OiB certificates at once - for the Refrigeration Equipment Laboratory and the Product Certification Department. This is a key step opening new opportunities for cooperation with the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland and the defence industry.
Are F-gas permits alone enough on a rapidly changing market? PN-EN ISO 22712 replaces previous standards and stresses natural and flammable refrigerants. See how to obtain an international competence certificate at COCH at one of four proficiency levels.
A certificate valid for 5 years? It is possible. Learn about the new standard for brazers. PN-EN ISO 13585:2025-01 extends validity and simplifies qualification ranges. Based on an expert article in Chłodnictwo & Klimatyzacja (9/2025).
Temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals may degrade if not stored and transported under strictly controlled environmental conditions, resulting in loss of therapeutic efficacy and, in extreme cases, a risk to patient health. Proper cargo-space temperature mapping is essential for GDP compliance.
COCH in Kraków proudly supported the 3rd National “Lodówa” Competition in Wodzisław Śląski. 42 participants in 8 teams from across Poland took part.
Maintaining controlled temperature during pharmaceutical transport is today a key element of medicine safety and regulatory compliance. In the latest issue of “Świat Przemysłu Farmaceutycznego”, our experts – MSc Eng. Miłosz Gratkowski and MSc Eng. Bogdan Szczepański – discuss in detail how certification of transport equipment under GDP requirements works, which documents are required, and why accreditation guarantees quality and market recognition.
