内容概述: 清洁空气法禁止在电器或工业加工致冷的维护、保养、维修或处理过程中释放臭氧消耗致冷剂和替代致冷剂。现行法规要求空调和致冷设备的保养或处理人员遵守减少臭氧消耗致冷剂排放的服务规范。法规提案更新现行要求并且将要求适当扩大至非臭氧消耗替代致冷剂，如氢氟烃。提出的更新包括加强泄漏维修要求，制定包含致冷剂5至50磅的电器处理记录保留要求，修改技术人员认证程序，修改可读性、执行要求并重组要求。最终，本措施将减少臭氧消耗物质及全球变暖可能气体的排放。

Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Update to the Refrigerant Management Requirements Under the Clean Air Act (102 pages, in English)
|
|
6.
|
Description of content: The Clean Air Act prohibits the knowing release of ozone- depleting and substitute refrigerants during the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of appliances or industrial process refrigeration. The existing regulations require that persons servicing or disposing of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment observe certain service practices that reduce emissions of ozone-depleting refrigerant. This proposed rule would update those existing requirements as well as extend them, as appropriate, to non-ozone- depleting substitute refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons. The proposed updates include strengthening leak repair requirements, establishing recordkeeping requirements for the disposal of appliances containing five to 50 pounds of refrigerant, changes to the technician certification program, and changes for improved readability, compliance, and restructuring of the requirements. As a result, this action would reduce emissions of ozone-depleting substances and gases with high global warming potentials.
