Practice notes for this market

Hydrocarbon refrigerants are common in South African retail plant — charge limits and ignition control matter more than in R-410A work.
Load-shedding cycling changes failure patterns: expect contactor, compressor start and control-board damage that would be rare elsewhere.

Always verify current requirements with the authority in your jurisdiction before applying.
