Regulation (EU) n° 517/2014 of 16/04/14 on fluorinated greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation
Leakage checks
1. Operators of the equipment that contains fluorinated greenhouses gases in quantities of 5 tons of CO 2 ,
equivalent or more and not contained in foams, shall ensure that the equipment are well checked for leakage.
2. For equipment that contains fluorinated greenhouse gases in quantities of 5 tons of CO2 equivalent or
more, but of less than 50 tons of CO 2 equivalent: check leakage at least every 12 months.

From 2 at 30 kg load = from 5 at 50 Tons
Concerning the Gas R32, 7.41kg amounting at 5 tons of CO 2 , commitment to check each year.
Do not release R32 coolant liquid into the atmosphere. This is a fluoride greenhouse effect gas covered by
the Kyoto agreement with a global warming potential (GWP) = 675 -(see the European Community
regulations on fluoride greenhouse effect gases Regulation (EU) No 517/2014).
Training and certification
1. The operator of the relevant application shall ensure that the relevant personnel have obtained the
necessary certification, which implies appropriate knowledge of the applicable regulations and standards as
well as the necessary competence in emission prevention and recovery of fluorinated greenhouse gases and
handling safety the relevant type and size of equipment.
Record keeping
1. Operators of equipment which are required to check for leakage shall establish and maintain records for
each piece of such equipment specifying the following information:
a) The quantity and type of fluorinated greenhouse gases installed;
b) The quantities of fluorinated greenhouse gases added during installation, maintenance or service or due
to leakage;
c) Whether the quantities of installed fluorinated greenhouse gases have been recycled or reclaimed,
including the name and address of the recycling or reclamation facility and, where applicable, the
certificate number;
d) The quantity of fluorinated greenhouse gases recovered;
e) The identity of the undertaking which installed, serviced, maintained and where applicable repaired or
decommissioned the equipment, including, where applicable, the number of its certificate;
f) The dates and results of the checks have been carried out;
g) If the equipment were decommissioned, the measures taken to recover and dispose of the
fluorinated greenhouse gases.
2. The operator shall keep the records for at least five years; those who carry out the activities for operators
shall keep copies of the records for at least five years.
