HCFC Phase-out dates -Refrigeration/AC/Heat Pumps • Refrigeration, AC and Heat pumps in general – HCFCs can be used until 1 Jan 2001 • Fixed AC < 100kW …. 1 July 2002 • Reversible AC/Heat Pumps …. 1 Jan 2004 • Existing systems – virgin HCFCs …. 1 Jan 2010 • Existing systems – all HCFCs … 1 Jan 2015 • Review of HCFCs in refrigeration … before end 2008
1 Oct 2000 – banned HCFCs for integral skin foams for use in safety applications and rigid insulation 1 Jan 2003 – banned HCFCs for polyurethane in appliances and polyurethane laminates and panels, except for transport 1 Jan 2004 – banned HCFCs for all foams, including polyurethane spray and block foams HCFC Phase-out dates - Foams
Exports of products containing HCFC • Permitted after 1 January, 2004 under Article 5(5) • HCFCs come from within the quota – manufacturer can decide between refrigeration, mobile A/C, solvent, fire fighting and exportuse(if permitted in the country of import)
HCFCs for fire fighting • HCFCs can be used to replace halons listed in Annex VII of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 • 70% of the costs of halon removal and destruction must be paid by the HCFC installer • Limited time period – 2010? • Report amounts annually to the Commission • So far only known in Italy and Spain • Not recommended as HCFCs are a short term replacement and they deplete ozone
