Timeline Leading To R22 Phase Out:
- Production and supply of new air conditioning systems which depend on HCFCs (such as R22) was banned in 2004.
- Legislation banned the supply of R22 refrigerant used to service equipment from 31st December 2009.
- Only reclaimed or recycled R22 refrigerant was permitted from January 2010 until 31 December 2014.
