What is the F-Gas Regulation?

The 2014 EU Regulation for fluorinated greenhouse gas (F-Gas) usage, is intended to reduce emissions of F-Gasses which are used as refrigerants in some air conditioning units. The gasses in question include R134a, R407C and R410A which all come under the regulation. The objective is to ensure their containment by raising professionalism during installation, operation and maintenance and good record keeping. The regulation also covers the phasing out of HFCs and product bans.
