Regulation (EU) 2024/573 on fluorinated greenhouse gases, amending Directive (EU) 2019/1937 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 517/2014.

This Regulation lays down rules on containment, use, recovery, recycling, reclamation and destruction of fluorinated greenhouse gases and on related ancillary measures, such as certification and training, which includes the safe handling of fluorinated greenhouse gases and of alternative substances that are not fluorinated. It imposes conditions on the production, import, export, placing on the market, subsequent supply and use of fluorinated greenhouse gases, and of specific products and equipment containing fluorinated greenhouse gases or whose functioning relies upon those gases. It also imposes conditions on specific uses of fluorinated greenhouse gases. Furthermore, this Regulation establishes quantitative limits for the placing on the market of hydrofluorocarbons and rules on reporting. This Regulation applies to the fluorinated greenhouse gases listed in Annexes I, II and III, whether alone or as mixtures; and products and equipment, and parts thereof, containing fluorinated greenhouse gases or whose functioning relies upon those gases.
