♦ A misdemeanour in the sense of the aforementioned ordinan‐
ces and laws: If someone acts with intent or negligently during
operation, commissioning, or when putting products out of
service which contain the mentioned refrigerants, contrary to
the state of the art or if someone intentionally or negligently
violates the above-mentioned applicable laws and regulations.
Disposing of the refrigerant and the refrigerant oil
The legal regulations for handling and disposing of refrigerants
and refrigerant oils must be stipulated in the Emissions Protection
Act, Recycling Management and Waste Management Act.
Refrigerant
The provided refrigerants to be disposed of must be filled into
marked recycling containers in compliance with the permissible
filling quantity and returned to the manufacturer responsable for
their disposal in accordance with the Environmental Protection
Legislations (different or additional directives may apply in certain
countries).
Refrigerant oil
Used refrigerant oil of systems with halogenised hydrocarbons
must be disposed of in the same way as waste requiring special
supervision. A mixture with other oils or agents is not allowed. The
refrigerant oil must be disposed of as oil of unknown origin. The
appropriate storage and disposal must be carried out in accord‐
ance with the specific country guidelines.
3.2

Verification procedure of refrigerant

Proof must be given regarding the consumption of a specific
quantity of refrigerants per year in accordance with the Environ‐
mental Statistics Act.
Therefore, vehicle workshops can expect to give information
about the consumption of refrigerants to the respective regional
authorities concerned. Therefore it is always recommended to
keep a record sheet.
Note
A record sheet for the amount of refrigerant which is converted
♦
in the vehicle workshop, must no longer be kept in the EC on
the basis of a Regulation of the European Parliament in the
year 2005. At present, a record sheet is only necessary for a
consumption of 50 kg or more per year (see, for example, the
regulation (EC) No 1005/2009).
Since the regional authorities may require information on the
♦
consumption of refrigerants above a certain volume (currently
above a consumption of 20 kg per year), it is recommended to
always keep an appropriate record sheet.
Other regulations maybe valid in countries that do not belong
♦
to the EC.
