When you have over 300 tons capacity in your refrigeration plant, what license is needed?

In New Jersey, the Blue Seal license is specifically required for individuals operating refrigeration plants with a capacity exceeding 300 tons. This licensing requirement is part of the state's regulations to ensure that personnel managing large refrigeration systems have the necessary training and expertise to safely handle such equipment.

The Blue Seal designation indicates that the engineer is qualified to supervise and operate larger refrigeration systems, which often involve more complex equipment and increased safety risks. In essence, the elevation in capacity translates to a need for a higher level of technical knowledge and operational safety, which the Blue Seal certification encompasses.

The other licenses, such as Gold, Red, and Black seals, correspond to different levels of capacity and operational responsibilities but do not meet the criteria for operating refrigeration plants with capacities over 300 tons. Therefore, the Blue Seal is the correct and appropriate certification for this specific scenario.
