BAKGRUNN (fra kommisjonsforordningen)
(1) Regulation (EU) 2024/573 includes obligations concerning the certification of natural and legal persons to carry out certain activities involving fluorinated greenhouse gases or relevant alternatives to fluorinated greenhouse gases, including natural refrigerants.
(2) Regulation (EU) 2024/573 also includes additional obligations with regards to the certification of legal persons for activities concerning refrigeration units of refrigerated trucks and refrigerated trailers, and with regard to the certification of natural and legal persons for activities concerning refrigeration units of refrigerated light-duty vehicles, intermodal containers and train wagons as well as organic Rankine cycles.
(3) Certification obligations under Regulation (EU) 2024/573 cover an extended list of substances contained in the relevant equipment, including alternatives to fluorinated greenhouse gases. Requirements for the content of the certification programmes should ensure safe handling of the equipment containing flammable or toxic gases or operating at high pressures.
(4) Improving the quality of installation, maintenance or servicing of equipment is essential for optimising and maintaining their energy efficiency, which is another objective of the certification obligations.
(5) It is therefore necessary, pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2024/573, to update the minimum requirements for the certification of natural and legal persons in relation to the scope of activities, equipment covered as well as the skills and knowledge to be covered and to specify the rules for the certification and the conditions for mutual recognition of certificates.
(6) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2067 (2) should therefore be repealed.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on fluorinated greenhouse gases, established by Article 34(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/573,
