(latest NCVER data)Vehicle air conditioning refrigerants can be flammable and harmful to the environment, so recovery must follow strict precautions and the Australian automotive code of practice. AURETU102 Recover vehicle refrigerants focuses on recovering these refrigerants into designated cylinders, and RTOs serving vehicle dismantling, parts recycling and body repair workplaces can deliver it using AURETU102 learning materials.
Learners develop skills in identifying air conditioning components and service ports, using refrigerant identifiers, weighing recovery cylinders, connecting and operating recovery equipment, transferring refrigerant safely, recording recovered quantities and completing service decal stickers and documentation.
Keep refrigerant recovery training on track with our AURETU102 RTO training materials rather than building the content internally. Purchase RTO materials and give trainers AURETU102 training resources that reference code of practice requirements.
These AURETU102 training materials provide a prepared foundation for recovering vehicle refrigerants safely. Purchase RTO materials and start with AURETU102 RTO training materials organised around identification, recovery and recording tasks.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these AURETU102 training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your AURETU102 materials against the Standards for RTOs.
AURETU102 Recover vehicle refrigerants covers recovering vehicle air conditioning refrigerants into designated recovery cylinders for disposal while observing safety and environmental precautions, given that refrigerant may be flammable. It applies to vehicle dismantlers, automotive parts recyclers and vehicle body repairers working on air conditioning and HVAC systems in vehicles and machinery.
The unit addresses five core areas:
No. An ARCtick Restricted Refrigerant Recoverer licence is required for those carrying out this work, and the resources do not issue or replace it. Your team should confirm current requirements with the relevant regulatory authority.
Learners must use a refrigerant hose and coupler, recovery unit, refrigerant scales, a refrigerant identifier or analyser and labelled recovery cylinders while recovering refrigerant from three different vehicles or machines.
Content addresses SGOD, hydrocarbon and HFC refrigerants and SGOD and hydrocarbon mixtures, with each assessment job involving one of these types. These RTO resources help learners understand the precautions for each, especially where refrigerants may be flammable.
Yes. The editable files let your team include site procedures, equipment instructions and recording templates where contextualisation is permitted. The materials are developed as compliant learning resources, but any changes should be validated before delivery.
The unlimited student licence allows the purchasing organisation to use the resources with all enrolled learners, subject to the applicable licence conditions.
