The phase out of using R22-R is looming for the UK and Europe
As of Midnight on the 31/12/2014 we will see the end of the use of Reclaimed R22 and other Reclaimed HCFC’s. As of 1st January 2015 it will become illegal to use Reclaimed R22, or other Reclaimed HCFC’s for servicing refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. This legislative change, implemented under the Montreal Protocol, will affect the entire Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning industry, as Reclaimed R22 becomes obsolete and banned for use in any air conditioning and refrigeration system..
The ban is a SERVICE BAN ONLY; if the system is gas tight you DO NOT have to remove the Reclaimed R22 contained within it. However, be aware, that if (or when) the system leaks, the refrigerant will have to be replaced with a suitable alternative.
This phase out will mean Reclaimed R22 will no longer be available to purchase in the UK on or after 1st January 2015.
