OZONE LAYER PROTECTION News & Notices Revised Proposal on Banning the Import of Equipment using Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) In June and October 2008, we consulted the stakeholders on banning the import of equipment using HCFCs.  Taking into account the views received, in particular on the scope of banning and the implementation dates for banning certain products, and in considering that more time is needed for introduction of non-HCFC window-type air conditioners, we have now revised the proposal, which can be downloaded from this link: Revised Proposal on Banning the Import of Equipment using Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)  (Last update: 7 November 2008)   Information [Image of Ozone Layer Protection And You] Ozone Layer Protection and You [Guidance Notes for Licence Application] Guidance Notes for Licence Application [Image of Scheduled Substances under Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance] Scheduled Substances under Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance [Image of Phase Out Schedule of Ozone Depleting Substances in Hong Kong] Phase Out Schedule of Ozone Depleting Substances in Hong Kong [Image of Approved Equipment for Recovering and Recycling Controlled Refrigerants under the Ozone Layer Protection (Controlled Refrigerants) Regulation] Approved Equipment for Recovering and Recycling Controlled Refrigerants How you can help to protect the ozone layer?   [Image of Ozone Layer Protection Slide Show] Ozone Layer Protection Slide Show     Leaflet [A Concise Guide to Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance] A Concise Guide to Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance [A Concise Guide to Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance ( Controlled Refrigerants Regulation)] A Concise Guide to Ozone Layer Protection (Controlled Refrigerants) Regulation [Image of Advice to Truck Drivers Importing or Exporting Ozone Depleting Substances] Advice to Truck Drivers Importing or Exporting Ozone Depleting Substances Guidance Note for Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) Destruction at the Chemical Waste Treatment Centre (CWTC) Guidelines for Phasing Out CFC   Link [Image of To Bilingual Laws Information System for the Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance (Chapter 403)]  To Bilingual Laws Information System for the Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance (Chapter 403) [Useful Links] Useful Links
