7.4 Regulation (EU) no. 517/2014 (F- gas)
7.4.1 Introduction
Stationary air conditioners placed into the European Community market and operating with fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-
gas, such as R407C, R134a, R410A), have to comply with the F- gas Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014.
This Regulation is in force since Jan 1, 2015 an it replaces the Re. (EU) no. 342/2006.
This document summarizes the obligations for the operators that are responsible for the equipment during all its operative life
until its disposal.

7.4.3 Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases
Following notes have to be considered when operating with the above mentioned equipments:
• Fluorinated greenhouse gases are covered by the Kyoto Protocol.
• The fluorinated greenhouse gases in this equipment should not be vented to the atmosphere.
• Referring to the value noted in Annex I and Annex IV of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 here below the global warming potential
(GWP) of some major F- gases or mixtures:
- R-134a GWP 1430
- R-407C GWP 1774
- R-410A GWP 2088
NOTE: the refrigerants as R22 are not F-gas and their relevant regulation is Reg. (EU) no. 1005/2009.
