Dutch regulations for reduction of refrigerant emissions: experience with a unique approach over the period 1993-1998.

Résumé

In the Netherlands, a unique approach concerning the ozone depleting and global warming issues, with respect to refrigerants, has been operating since 1992. National mandatory regulations focus on leakage and emissions reduction, instead of bans on production or specific applications. Results of several monitoring projects show a significant decrease in leakage and emission of refrigerants, mainly thanks to these regulations. In addition, the level of quality in the refrigeration and heat pump sector has been raised significantly. Unfortunately, interest in leakage and emission reduction measures is not yet well developed in Europe. For the near future, a joint European task force is recommended, in order to initiate and harmonise European-wide implementation of practical measures to reduce leakage and emissions of refrigerant.
