Le DESP

The aim is to enable staff drawing up quotations for refrigeration, air conditioning and professional kitchens to define the risk category of the proposed system in order to comply with the regulations.

The aim of the programme is to remind participants of the fundamental principles of the European Directive DESP 68/2014 and to raise awareness of the advice to be given to customers and operators to ensure the monitoring of pressurised refrigeration systems in accordance with the CTP standards in force. It also covers the specific requirements of EN 378 for pressure equipment, highlighting the potential impacts in the event of non-compliance, to ensure that all stakeholders understand and apply the measures necessary for safety and regulatory compliance.

Nicolas Lecomte

Director of the Cold Sector

With a Master's degree in private law, Nicolas LECOMTE joined the OFRACAR Group, a Norman brokerage firm, upon completing his studies in 1990. He began his career as an entrepreneur, alongside his brother, Stéphane LECOMTE, in this company founded by their father, Jean-Pierre LECOMTE, in 1964.

Nicolas quickly took over the management of the IARD and Legal Department of the Group. In 2005, Nicolas notably created the entity ASSURFROID, specializing in insurance for business risks, dedicated to refrigeration engineering, climate engineering, professional kitchens, and renewable energies. Quickly, ASSURFROID became recognized as a specialist in the Cold professions, becoming a reference in the world of installers and particularly a leader in the French territory.

His two passions are risk management and running.

As a commercial judge at the Commercial Court of ROUEN for 20 years, he presided over the 2nd Chamber of litigation and is now a conciliator at the Court of Appeal of Rouen, attached to the Commercial Court. In order to anticipate their succession, the leaders of OFRACAR joined Howden in 2024. It is only natural that Nicolas continues his aspirations by becoming the Director of the Cold Sector for Howden France.
