This fact sheet provides guidance for refrigeration and air-conditioning (R&AC) restricted electrical licence holders (REL).

Installation, maintenance and repair of R&AC equipment forms an important part of the electrical industry in Western Australia. 

Due to the safety risk posed by unlicensed electrical work it is important all electrical work on R&AC equipment is carried out by licensed REL holders and that those workers understand, and work within, the scope and limits of their REL.

Understanding the scope and limits assists R&AC REL holders in ensuring they do not carry out unlicensed electrical work and breach the regulations.
