| Keeping refrigerant records |
| The environmental statistics law requires records to be kept on the use of refrigerants exceeding a certain quantity per year. |
| Consequently, motor vehicle workshops may well have to provide the relevant local authorities with information on their use of refrigerant. It is therefore advisable to always keep a record sheet → Audi-ServiceNet, HSO Environmental Protection. |
Note | t
| On the basis of a regulation of the European parliament from 2005, it is generally no longer necessary in the EC to keep a record sheet for the quantity of refrigerant handled in motor vehicle workshops. A record sheet is currently only necessary as of an annual consumption of 50 kg or more (refer also to directive (EC) No. 1005/2009 for example). |
| t
| As the relevant local authorities may demand information on refrigerant consumption as of a certain quantity (currently as of 20 kg per year), it is advisable to always keep an appropriate record sheet. |

| Other regulations may apply in countries not belonging to the EC. |
