| 1 | In accordance with the Montreal Protocol, developing nations committed to initiating a decrease in the consumption and production of HCFCs by 2015, aiming for a complete 100% reduction by 2030. At least 4 out of the 6 gases that are CFCs (R-11, R-12, R-113, R-114) included in the standard have been phased out worldwide and have been banned in India under ODS Rules on account of being high Ozone Depleting Substances (CFCs). Further Gas R-21 cannot be produced any longer under the ODS Rules, and HCFC (R-22) will be phased out by 2030 due to high GWP as a GHG. | |
| 2 | Currently HFCs have replaced HCFCs and are being used in India for refrigeration and air-conditioning. However, after India’s ratification of the Kigali Agreement of the Montreal Protocol, even the HFCs have been placed under a gradual phase down starting from 2028 to 2040 to enable their eventual replacement by Zero ODP, low GWP hydrocarbons. | |
| 3 | In light of this, the committee has chosen to revise the standard to align with best International Practices, encompassing various refrigerants in a unified standard. In the third revision of IS 5610, the title has been modified, alternative refrigerants in place of phased out refrigerant gases with specifications have been incorporated and modifications made in requirements of packing. | |
