ARCtick Licence · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The ARCtick Refrigerant Handling Licence (RHL) is a credential administered through the ARC Industry Site for people who handle regulated refrigerants. The site's navigation groups the scheme into four areas: the Refrigerant Handling Licence itself, the Refrigerant Trading Authorisation (RTA), Refrigerant Industry Training, and Information. For the RHL, the published menu covers renewing a licence, starting a new RHL application, updating details, getting a replacement licence card, cancelling an RHL, licence types, trainee licences, refrigerant recovery, codes of practice, licence application fees, forms, and a Field Education and Engagement Program. The RTA side covers renewals, new applications, permit condition checks (audits), business reporting templates, conditions of authorisation, and industry segments. The ARCtick Licence case studies are 5 cases and about 3,035 words.
