Do no release R32 coolant liquid into the atmosphere. This is a fluoride greenhouse
effect gas covered by the Kyoto agreement with a global warming potential (GWP)
= 675 - (see the European Community regulations on fluoride greenhouse effect gases
Regulation (EU) No 517/2014).
Concerning the Gas R32, 7.40kg amounting at 5 tons of CO2, commitment to check
each year.
Training and certification
1. The operator of the relevant application shall ensure that the relevant personnel have obtained
the necessary certification, which implies appropriate knowledge of the applicable regulations and
standards as well as the necessary competence in emission prevention and recovery of fluorinated
greenhouse gases and handling safety the relevant type and size of equipment.
Record keeping
1. Operators of equipment which is required to be checked for leaks, shall establish and maintain
records for each piece of such equipment specifying the following information:
a) The quantity and type of fluorinated greenhouse gases installed;
b) The quantities of fluorinated greenhouse gases added during installation, maintenance or servicing
or due to leakage;
c) Whether the quantities of installed fluorinated greenhouse gases have been recycled or reclaimed,
including the name and address of the recycling or reclamation facility and, where applicable, the
certificate number;
d) The quantity of fluorinated greenhouse gases recovered
e) The identity of the undertaking which installed, serviced, maintained and where applicable repaired
or decommissioned the equipment, including, where applicable, the number of its certificate;
f) The dates and results of the checks carried out;
g) If the equipment was decommissioned, the measures taken to recover and dispose of the fluorinated
greenhouse gases.
