Adoption of the report on the F-Gas Regulation

AREA welcomes the adoption of the report on the F-Gas Regulation in the European Parliament's Environment Committee.

In particular, we are pleased to see that the proposal to extend the current F-Gas training and certification scheme to alternative refrigerants, for which AREA has been advocating for, has been adopted with broad support. Training and certification will be required to avoid accidents, injury and fatalities involving systems with alternative greenhouse gas refrigerant systems. However, ensuring the widespread of training and certifications for those refrigerants across Europe will require time.
