Verification of fluorinated GHG gases

Overview

Fluorinated gases are hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride and other greenhouse gases, which contain fluorine.Some mixtures belong to this category too.

Deliverables

The Regulation (EU) 517/2014 strengthens existing measures on fluorinated greenhouse gases and introduces a number of far-reaching changes that will reduce emissions significantly.
According to the Regulation (EU) 517/2014, we offer the following services:

• verification of declaration of conformity issued by importers of equipment pre-charged with hydrofluorocarbons under article 14 of the Regulation (EU) 517/2014
• verification of annual communication under article 19 of the Regulation (EU) 517/2014 applicable to producers, importers and exporters that reports on the placing on the market 10 000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent or more of hydrofluorocarbons during the preceding calendar year.

Why RINA?

RINA has been offering for several years services on fluorinated greenhouse gases but recently has developed the two services above-mentioned in the role of accredited body pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Moreover, RINA is accredited by ACCREDIA for the Verification of communications of emissions of greenhouse gases for compliance with Directive 2003/87/EC.
