A TM44 Assessment is an assessment completed on an air conditioning system. Building owners and managers in England and Wales who are responsible for controlling air conditioning systems; with an effective rated output of more than 12kW, are required to ensure compliance with the regulations as set out by the government.
In addition, organisations seeking certification for ISO 14001 & ISO 18001 are also required to show compliance with government regulations for air conditioning units.
Regulations stipulate that inspections must be carried out regularly by an independent accredited energy assessor and must be no less than five years apart.
Failure to commission, keep or provide an air conditioning inspection report which has been lodged on to the Central Register could result in fines from £300 per offence (per a building / a unit). These fines could be repeated at the discretion of Trading Standards enforcement officer on a daily, monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
A further penalty can be issued for failure to provide a copy of the air conditioning inspection report when requested, to an officer of an enforcement authority within seven days. This is fixed at £200 (per a building / a unit).
