| Verification procedure of refrigerant |
| Proof must be given regarding the consumption of a specific quantity of refrigerants per year in accordance with the Environmental Statistics Act. |
| Therefore, vehicle workshops can expect to give information about the consumption of refrigerants to the respective regional authorities concerned. Therefore it is always recommended to keep a record sheet. |
Note | t
| A record sheet for the amount of refrigerant which is converted in the vehicle workshop, must no longer be kept in the EC on the basis of a Regulation of the European Parliament in the year 2005. At present, a record sheet is only necessary for a consumption of 50 kg or more per year (see, for example, the regulation (EC) No 1005/2009). |
| t
| Since the regional authorities may require information on the consumption of refrigerants above a certain volume (currently above a consumption of 20 kg per year), it is recommended to always keep an appropriate record sheet. |
| t
| Other regulations maybe valid in countries that do not belong to the EC. |
