Consultation on proposed Regulations – further implementation measures - fluorinated greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances
A consultation was launched on the 11 July seeking views on proposals that carry forward the implementation of ten Commission Regulations establishing fleshed out legal requirements for companies and qualifications for personnel working in five industry sectors covered by EC Regulation 842/2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases, as well as dealing with other requirements relating to leakage checking, reporting and labelling.
The proposed Regulations will be of particular interest to trade associations and their members dealing with manufacturing, installation, servicing and recovery of F gases from commercial and domestic refrigeration and air-conditioning, heat pump and fire protection equipment, those dealing with recovery of F gases from such equipment, as well as equipment containing fluorinated gas-based solvents and high voltage switchgear. In addition, the Regulations will be of interest to F gas producers, importers and exporters, those responsible for offshore oil and gas platforms, the DIY sector, consumer organisations, charities, enforcement authorities, Government Departments and non-Governmental organisations.
