GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
Fluorinated Greenhouse Gas Requirements—European Union
Stationary air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pump equipments and stationary fire protection sys-
tems in the European Community market and operating with fluorinated greenhouse gases (f-gas),
such as R407C, R134a, R410A, must comply with the F-Gas Regulation: (EC) No. 842/2006 (F-gas).
The regulation prohibits, among other actions, venting fluorinated greenhouse gases to the atmo-
sphere.
The F-Gas Regulation also requires operators to use use all measures that are technically feasible
and do not entail disproportionate cost to prevent leakage of these gases, to test for leakage regularly
and to recover f-gas during equipment service and maintenance and before disposing of equipment.
Refer to the full regulation for additional details.
