Type of article: Informatory note

Summary

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are greenhouse gases mainly used as refrigerants. Various agreements or regulations to limit their use and reduce their impact on the environment are being discussed. In some cases, they are already applied at global, regional and national levels. This is particularly true of the revised version of European Union “F-gases” Regulation which came into effect on 1 January 2015. It is essential for refrigeration equipment owners and managers to know the new requirements of this regulation in order to understand what to do in terms of maintenance, but also renewal or conversion of their facilities. With this new Informatory Note focusing on the “F-gas” Regulation and our various publications, the IIR wishes to accompany refrigeration stakeholders in the actions they are taking to ensure compliance with regulatory changes relating to refrigerants.
