The proposed amendment concerns heat pumps with a charge of 50 kg or less of an HFC greenhouse gas and which have been fully factory-assembled as compact units that are primarily assembled by welding or soldering.

Order on the regulation of certain industrial greenhouse gases

The proposed amendment introduces a new exemption under number 2 in Annex 1 to the order. Heat pumps with a charge of 50 kg or less of an HFC greenhouse gas and which have been fully factory-assembled as compact units that are primarily assembled by welding or soldering are hereby exempted from the ban in § 2 of the order as regards the import, sale and use of new products that contain the greenhouse gases covered by the order.

The current exemption under number 2 of Annex 1 subsequently becomes number 4. At the same time, it is clarified that this exemption concerns heat pumps that are not covered by the new exemption under number 2.

The current exemption under number 3 of Annex 1 concerning cooling systems for heat recovery is reworded in order to improve readability and bring it into line with the new exemption under number 2. This rewording is not intended to change the existing scope of the exemption.
