Jerusalem, 12 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Delegates from Israel’s Occupational Regulation Administration presented the nation’s regulatory framework for the refrigeration and air conditioning sector at an international summit in Kigali, the capital of the East African nation of Rwanda.
Represented by Asaf Segal, Director of the Occupational Licensing Division, and Senior Attorney Dalia Shili Jerichoer, the Israeli delegation shared models for adapting professional training and safety procedures to low-global-warming-potential refrigerants.
The Rwandan Ministry of Labor expressed interest in adopting Israeli engineer certification and workforce integration programs. Concurrently, Israeli officials established cooperation with Japanese delegates, the German development agency GIZ, and the European Association of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pump (AREA), exploring pathways to renew active participation in international technical committees.
