Navigating Changing EU Requirements When Using Flammable Refrigerants

According to the EU F-Gas Regulation, by 2021 emissions of fluorinated gases (F-gases) must be halved compared with 2015 emissions and reduced by approximately 80% by 2030. However, the less climate-damaging gases pose new problems because most are flammable or toxic. UL supports customers throughout the process for European Conformity (CE) marking with advisory, training, documents of conformity and certification for all required directives of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) products that use flammable refrigerants.
