Identity and composition
R-134a is a single substance, not a blend. The 1430 figure is read straight from Annex I, Section 1 rather than calculated, which is why there is no blend tolerance and no weighted average here.

Who may buy
Fluorinated refrigerant gas is not an ordinary product. Article 11(6) of Regulation (EU) 2024/573 limits who may buy it for installation, maintenance, servicing or repair — and it binds the seller too.
The two declarations available at checkout
A valid F-Gas certificate is required for charging, installation, maintenance, servicing, repair or recovery. At checkout you enter the certificate holder, the number and the issuing country.
I am buying the sealed product for resale without carrying out technical work on the gas or equipment. The option is available to a company, sole trader or professional entity.
The declaration is recorded with the order. The details may be checked before dispatch.
This page does not decide whether you may buy. That is settled at checkout, against the declaration you sign.
