A clear, searchable library for product use, compliance, documents and operations.
Who may declare, on which dates, what Article 18 requires, how Annex VIII shares out the reserve, and what happens to quota that is not paid for.
The Annex VII table of maximum quantities, what does and does not need quota, how reference values and quota are calculated, and what the allocation payment legally is.
Where the dossier stood on 22 September 2026, the PFAS definition used in the proposal, which refrigerants ECHA lists as covered and which it marks as not covered, and what is undecided.
What Article 9 actually says, which equipment comes in through Directive 2012/19/EU, who counts as a producer under that Directive, and what is still undecided at national level.
The 2 500 and 750 thresholds in Article 13, their dates, the windows for reclaimed and recycled gas, and what each one means for the refrigerants used in servicing today.
The Annex IV point 8 and point 9 dates for self-contained, monobloc and split equipment, with the GWP limits, the safety exceptions and what happens to stock already inside the Union.
Annex IV points 3, 4, 5 and 6 for commercial refrigeration, the definitions that decide the classification, the Article 13 servicing bans and the leak-check thresholds.
Annex IV point 7 for chillers, by capacity band and GWP limit, plus leak checks, the mandatory detection system, records and the special position of chillers in Article 13.
What stays with the operator, what belongs to the servicing company, and what no contract can move, under Regulation (EU) 2024/573.
Exactly what drops away under the Article 5(1) threshold, and what continues to apply to any equipment holding fluorinated greenhouse gases whatever the charge.
The Article 6 thresholds, the equipment covered, the 12-month or 6-year check of the system itself, and the effect on leak check frequency.
The prohibition, the technically necessary exception, the precautions in paragraphs 3 and 4, and how they apply to ordinary situations on the job.

The list of substances in Section 1 of Annex II, the kilogram thresholds for leak checks and detection, the duties that apply in full and the ones that do not apply at all.
What a garage may and may not do with a vehicle air-conditioning system: the GWP 150 limit, the retrofit ban, the refill exception for older cars, the training attestation and the purchase rule.
What the operator of a transport refrigeration unit has to do: thresholds, intervals, who may check, what goes in the records, which gases may still be used for servicing, and which duties do not exist.
What happens to certificates issued under the old Regulation, when refresher training becomes due, and what another Member State may and may not ask of you.
The types of penalty every Member State must provide for, the ceiling formula tied to market value, and the route to the national text that actually applies.
When the evidence rule bites, what non-hermetically sealed actually means, what the seller's record must contain and how long it is kept.
What the label must say, in which units, in which language, where it goes, and what space must be left for the gas added on site.
The full method: application, the Annex IV placing-on-the-market bans, the Article 13 servicing horizon, safety class, quota exposure, leak-check consequences and the paperwork.
What has to exist before a cylinder leaves the Union: the portal registration, the data in the customs declaration, the right label, the records, and the Annex IX annual report.
What you check before despatch, what belongs on the invoice and delivery note, what you record and how long you keep it when you sell bulk gas or charged equipment to a service company.
The receiving procedure for a cylinder that arrives dented, rusted, badly labelled or simply wrong: safety first, then the legal checks, then quarantine, evidence and notification.

Which elements have to be identical on the label and in the sheet, a table of the usual discrepancies, and the decision path: stop, quarantine, evidence, written request.
The Article 3 definitions, the reuse rule in Article 8, the label required by Article 12(7), and the document chain behind a reclaimed batch.
What the letter and the figure in A1, A2L or A3 mean, where to read the class for your product, and what actually changes on the job.
GWP ≈ 2 139 under Annex VI: servicing allowed today because it is below 2 500, prohibited from 2032 in stationary refrigeration because it is above 750.
GWP 3 985: servicing with virgin gas prohibited, a reclaimed-gas window to 1 January 2030, and a leak-check threshold of only 1.25 kg.
GWP ≈ 629.5 under Annex VI: below the 750 line, so it escapes the 2032 date that catches R-134a, but above 150, so the equipment rows still catch it.
GWP ≈ 145.5 under Annex VI: no GWP-based servicing ban touches it, but the Annex IV rows written “any fluorinated greenhouse gas” still do.
GWP of about 465 calculated under Annex VI: what it clears, what it does not, the leak-check threshold and the safety derogation for A2L refrigerants.
Which duties fall away and which appear with R-717: the hazard classification from the safety data sheet, Certificate C, and why there is no direct replacement.
Why commercial refrigeration moved to CO2, what Certificate B examines, and what the safety data sheet says about pressure, dry ice and the exposure limit.
Why R-600a falls outside the F-gas regime, what stays mandatory anyway, and what the safety data sheet says about flammability, transport and handling.
What it means that R-290 is not an Annex I gas, where it is used, what the safety data sheet says, and which certificate working with hydrocarbons requires.
The Article 3 formula, the correct Annex I column, the Annex VI method for blends, and complete worked examples for bulk gas and for pre-charged equipment.
Registration, quota, authorisation to use quota and quota transfer set side by side, each with its legal basis and with what it actually lets you do.
How the gas inside pre-charged equipment is covered by quota, what an authorisation to use quota actually is, and what customs asks for at release for free circulation.
Annex VI, fractionation, and why the figure in your record can change without anyone adding gas.
Responsibility for stock, the label that has to survive the shelf, who you may supply, and what to do with apparently empty cylinders.
Who is responsible while the cylinder is moving, why the carrier needs no F-gas certificate, and what has to stay legible on the cylinder.
GWP ≈ 1 372 and ≈ 1 396: allowed today, but caught by the 750 line in 2032 for stationary refrigeration. The sum, row by row.
GWP 1 774, servicing allowed today, a 2032 deadline for stationary refrigeration. Plus the charging rule for zeotropic blends.
GWP 0.501, but kilogram thresholds: checks from 1 kg, bands at 10 and 100 kg. A low GWP does not mean out of scope.
GWP 2 088: servicing allowed, but new equipment closes row by row from 2025. What you may still install, and until when.
GWP 3 922, above the 2 500 line. Virgin gas banned for servicing since 2025, a reclaimed-gas window until 2030.
GWP 675: it clears the 750 line in 2032 but not the 150 lines. Thresholds, Annex IV dates and the safety derogation.

Article 11(4) in practice: the declaration of conformity, what a binding return arrangement has to contain, who keeps which evidence for five years, and what happens on refilling.
The Annex IV split and self-contained timetable read against the GWP of R-32 and R-410A, why the servicing bans do not bite air conditioning the way they bite refrigeration, and the safety derogation that changes the limit.
Which obligations follow the gas and which follow the activity: leak checks, records and recovery apply to F-gases only, while certification under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2215 covers natural refrigerants too.
Why R-404A can no longer be used for servicing, what the 2 500 and 750 thresholds mean for the replacement you choose, and the leak-check interval that changes when the GWP does.
What Regulation (EU) 2024/590 allows for equipment containing R-22: no recharging at all, leak checks still due, recovery on service and decommissioning, and how a retrofit changes which regulation applies.
