Consultation document on Proposal to Regulate and Phase Down Hydrofluorocarbons for Implementation of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol

The proposal sets out different control strategies which facilitates HFC phasedown, and supports an orderly and smooth transition to the use of low Global Warming Potential (GWP) alternatives. One of the strategies is to introduce a new regulation to prohibit the import, manufacture, supply and sale of those equipment and products using HFCs with GWP greater than the prescribed limit.
