Where can my company obtain advice or assistance about the phase out of HCFCs?
Your country s national association for the refrigeration and air conditioning industry is the best place to start. Most have practical information materials about alternative refrigerants, contacts for suppliers of non-HCFC technology, training programmes for refrigeration servicing technicians and other resources available to assist with the transition to more environmentally-friendly refrigerants. Individual suppliers of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment and fluids are also excellent sources of technical information, and could be your next point of contact, however care must be taken to evaluate different options from several suppliers, not just the option presented by one supplier. Another source of information is your Government s Montreal Protocol focal point. Each country has a focal point for the implementation of the Montreal Protocol who can guide you about national policies/regulations towards HCFCs, and often also information about technologies and financing.
