6.6 Approved Equipment for Recovering and Recycling Controlled Refrigerants under the Ozone Layer Protection (Controlled Refrigerants) Regulation

Under the Ozone Layer Protection (Controlled Refrigerants) Regulation, owners of air-conditioning or refrigeration plant containing more than 50 kilogrammes of controlled refrigerants and people who carry out servicing of motor vehicle air-conditioners are required to recover the controlled refrigerants by approved equipment and to keep records of the quantity of controlled refrigerants being removed, replaced or added. They should also operate the equipment in accordance with the instructions issued by the manufacturer of that equipment. Any person who allows any controlled refrigerant in a refrigeration plant or motor vehicle air-conditioner to escape into the atmosphere commits an offence and is liable to a fine of $100,000.

The types of controlled refrigerant recycling equipment listed below have been approved by the Director of Environmental Protection for recycling and recovering controlled refrigerants for the purpose of this regulation. The list will be updated from time to time through notifications in the Government Gazette.
