Certification of personnel and companies involved in the use of fluorinated gases (Reg. EC n° 842/2006)

Description

Operators and companies in the fluorinated greenhouse gas market must comply with the requirements derived from the Kyoto protocol in order to reduce emissions and meet EU objectives as regards climate change.

For this purpose, the European Parliament and Council adopted EC Regulation no. 842/2006 (F-gas regulation) which establishes specific requirements for the various phases of the entire life cycle of fluorinated gases, from production to the end of life.

Italian Presidential Decree (DPR) no. 43 of 27th January 2012 implements the contents of this EC Regulation which requires member states to set up a certification system for personnel and companies involved in the use of fluorinated gases.
