Summary

The introduction of the Montreal Protocol (MP) induced massive change in the global refrigeration industry by forcing the move from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and soon hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), to other alternatives.

This article aims to identify the various levels of legislation and standards that affect refrigerant application.
