Résumé

This proposed rule would exempt some substitute refrigerants from the current prohibition on venting substitute refrigerants to the atmosphere on the basis that their release does not pose a significant threat to the environment. In addition, the US EPA is proposing to strengthen and clarify existing leak repair requirements for equipment containing CFC and HCFC refrigerants. This will significantly reduce emissions of environmentally-harmful refrigerants. Also enclosed is a fact sheet summarizing the proposed regulation. It explains how the agency is currently applying its venting prohibition to different substitute refrigerants and to the various types of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment.
