HCFC controls in Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000
_970570013.doc
HCFC Production Controls
2000 to 2007: Production equal or less than 1997 production in the EC
2008 to 2014: ... 35% of 1997 production
2015 to 2020 : … 20% of 1997 production
2016 to 2025 : … 15% of 1997 production
No HCFC production after end 2025
Consumption Controls on HCFCs (ODP tonnes)
2001 Cap at 2% of CFCs placed on market in 1989 + 1989 placing on the market of HCFCs (6678 ODP-tonnes)
2002 85% of 2000 level (5676 ODP-tonnes)
2003 45% of 2000 level (3005 ODP-tonnes)
2004 to 2007 30% of 2000 level (2003<2209<2250 ODP-tonnes)
2008 to 2009 25% of 2000 level (1669<1840<1874 ODP-tonnes)
2010 onwards – No placing on the market
HCFC Phase-out dates -
Refrigeration/AC/Heat Pumps
Refrigeration, AC and Heat pumps in general – HCFCs can be used until 1 Jan 2001
Fixed AC < 100kW …. 1 July 2002
Reversible AC/Heat Pumps …. 1 Jan 2004
Existing systems – virgin HCFCs …. 1 Jan 2010
Existing systems – all HCFCs … 1 Jan 2015
Review of HCFCs in refrigeration … before end 2008
HCFC Phase-out dates - Foams
1 Oct 2000 – banned HCFCs for integral skin foams for use in safety applications and rigid insulation
1 Jan 2003 – banned HCFCs for polyurethane in appliances and polyurethane laminates and panels, except for transport
1 Jan 2004 – banned HCFCs for all foams, including polyurethane spray and block foams
Exports of products containing HCFC
Permitted after 1 January, 2004 under Article 5(5)
HCFCs come from within the quota – manufacturer can decide between refrigeration, mobile A/C, solvent, fire fighting and export use (if permitted in the country of import)
HCFCs for fire fighting
HCFCs can be used to replace halons listed in Annex VII of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000
70% of the costs of halon removal and destruction must be paid by the HCFC installer
Limited time period – 2010?
So far only known in Italy and Spain
Not recommended as HCFCs are a short term replacement and they deplete ozone
