The European Union ("EU") is currently carrying out a review of its laws on F-gases, and is considering new provisions which may have an effect on NI stakeholders. A new EU law on F-gases may well be issued some time inĀ 2022, and this would be directly applicable in NI.

Businesses which use F-gases, including the following, may be affected:

  • Refrigeration (stationary and mobile),
  • Air-conditioning (stationary and mobile),
  • Heat pumps,
  • Fire protection equipment,
  • Electrical switchgear,
  • Metered dose inhalers (MDIs) and
  • Aerosols.
