Information about the used refrigerants
The Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases
applies to all systems which contain fluorinated refrigerants and replaces
(EC) 842/2006.
The aim of the Regulation is to protect the environment by reducing
emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Among other things it regulates the emission limits, use and recovery of
these substances. It also contains requirements for operators of systems
which require / contain these substances to function.
Under Regulation 517/2014, the operator of a system of this nature has
the following duties:
• The operator must ensure that the equipment is checked at regular
intervals for leaks.
• These intervals depend on the CO
2
equivalent of the system. This is
calculated from the refrigerant fill volume and type of refrigerant.
The CO
2
equivalent of your system is shown on the model plate.
• The operator undertakes to have maintenance, repair, service,
recovery and recycling work carried out by certified personnel who
have been authorized by JULABO.
