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.
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.
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.
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.
Technological solutions used in the design of space heaters and domestic hot water heaters, despite serving similar functional purposes, may differ in their environmental impact. Particular attention should be paid to technologies used in heat pumps.
The collaboration with CEIS opens up new possibilities for us and provides access to advanced research laboratories, enabling us to elevate the quality and accessibility of our certification processes.
We are proud to announce our latest collaboration with the renowned Spanish laboratory CEIS – Centro de Ensayos, Innovación y Servicios. This strategic initiative opens new opportunities in heat pump certification and raises the quality and precision of our testing processes.
The cold chain is a key element in many sectors of the economy, such as the food, catering, chemical, pharmaceutical and medical industries. It is a comprehensive system ensuring the appropriate temperature for a given product group at the stages of production, logistics and sales.
There is no doubt that persons performing services related to servicing, operation, supervision or maintenance of equipment charged with refrigerants must hold appropriate skills and authorisations. But skills alone are not enough. Even the most experienced specialist cannot install an air conditioner without the right equipment.
Electronic leak detectors (alongside fluorescent detection fluids, dyes, and foaming agents – foams and soapy solutions) represent one of the methods of performing direct measurements used for leak checking of equipment and installations containing refrigerant.
