Which regulation governs the handling of F-Gases?

The F-Gas Regulation is specifically designed to manage the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gases) within the European Union. It sets out comprehensive rules for the containment, use, recovery, and destruction of these gases to minimize their impact on global warming and the climate. The regulation outlines obligations for equipment manufacturers, service providers, and end-users regarding the correct handling and management of F-Gases to ensure safety and environmental protection.

In contrast, while the Environmental Protection Act focuses on broader environmental policies, it does not specifically target F-Gases. The Cold Chain Management Act and the Refrigeration Standards Act may address aspects related to refrigeration systems, but they do not provide comprehensive regulations governing the handling of F-Gases. Hence, the F-Gas Regulation is the most direct and applicable legislation in this context.
