ANNEX

REPORTING FORM FOR PRODUCERS, IMPORTERS AND EXPORTERS OF FLUORINATED GREENHOUSE GASES

PART 1

Image 1

INTRODUCTION

Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases requires that producers, importers, and exporters of fluorinated greenhouse gases report certain activities to the European Commission annually, beginning in 2008 (for activities occurring during 2007). The following form is to be completed by producers, importers, and exporters in the European Community who produce, import, and/or export more than one metric tonne of fluorinated greenhouse gases, or preparations containing fluorinated greenhouse gases, per annum.

Quantities imported or exported shall include bulk shipments, including those shipped with equipment for the purpose of charging that equipment, but not quantities contained in equipment (i.e., pre-charged equipment). Reported imports and exports of fluorinated greenhouse gases should include only those quantities imported from or exported to countries outside the Community. Similarly, Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 does not require importers to report on quantities purchased from Community producers or distributors, or on stockpiled quantities originally obtained from Community producers or distributors.

Companies that produce and capture more than one tonne of fluorinated greenhouse gases as a by-product of other chemical production (e.g., production of HFC-23 from the manufacture of HCFC-22) are responsible for completing this form to account for captured fluorinated greenhouse gases; by-products that are emitted and not captured do not need to be reported in this form.

CONFIDENTIALITY

All information provided in this report shall be considered strictly confidential. No company-specific information shall be disclosed to the public; all company data shall be aggregated into summary reports before being made available to the public. Any concerns regarding confidentiality can be addressed to the Commission or to the entity designated by the Commission.

INSTRUCTIONS

Complete all applicable parts of this form to account for activities occurring during the previous calendar year (i.e., activities conducted in 2007 shall be reported and submitted in 2008, no later than 31 March). For your reference, definitions that may be helpful for completing the forms and a listing of the regulated fluorinated greenhouse gases with corresponding CAS numbers are provided in Part 2.

Note that reporting is normally done at the company level (not the facility level).

Submission

Once completed, this report must be submitted by 31 March of the year following the year for which the report applies. The report shall be submitted to the Commission or to the entity designated by the Commission and to the competent authority in your Member State.

PART 2

Image 2

Definitions

Fluorinated greenhouse gases: hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) as listed in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 and preparations containing those substances, but excluding substances controlled under Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer.

Preparation (industry often refers to preparations as blends): A mixture composed of two or more substances at least one of which is a fluorinated greenhouse gas, except where the total global warming potential of the preparation is less than 150. The total global warming potential of the preparation shall be determined in accordance with Part 2 of Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases.

Placing on the market: For the purposes of these reporting forms, placing on the market means the supplying of or making available to a third party within the Community for the first time, against payment or free of charge, bulk quantities of fluorinated greenhouse gases, and includes import into the customs territory of the Community excluding those contained in equipment.

Community co-producer: A producer of fluorinated greenhouse gases in the Community with whom another producer may conduct transactions (i.e., sales and purchases of fluorinated greenhouse gases).

Feedstock: Any substance that undergoes chemical transformation in a process by which the chemical is entirely converted from its original composition and whose emissions are insignificant.

Reclamation: The reprocessing of a recovered fluorinated greenhouse gas in order to meet a specified standard of performance.

Recycling: The reuse of a recovered fluorinated greenhouse gas following a basic cleaning process.

Destruction: The process by which all or most of a fluorinated greenhouse gas is permanently transformed or decomposed into one or more stable substances which are not fluorinated greenhouse gases.

Note: Production of a fluorinated greenhouse gas preparation refers to the production of the preparation constituents, not to the blending process

Reporting on production of fluorinated greenhouse gas by-product

This form should not be used to report emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gas by-products that result from the manufacture of other chemicals (e.g., emissions of HFC-23 from the manufacture of HCFC-22); do not report on by-product fluorinated greenhouse gas production that is emitted directly to the atmosphere. However, companies that produce fluorinated greenhouse gases as a by-product of other chemical production and capture the by-product fluorinated greenhouse gases produced are responsible for completing this form to account for the captured by-product fluorinated greenhouse gases, which are considered as new production.

Reporting HFC production and import data

Five forms are available for reporting HFC production and import data, as described below. Determine which forms apply to your company and complete as appropriate.

Producer and Importer Form 1: HFCs

This form should be used to report on the production and/or import of HFCs, including those used to produce preparations. Constituents of HFC preparations that were produced or imported as a substance and blended or imported as a preparation and re-blended should also be reported on this form. Only the most common HFCs are included on this form. Note:

If your company imported or purchased preparations that you did not re-blend, report those substances on Form 3.

If your company imported or produced HFCs or HFC preparations that are not listed on this form, proceed to Form 2.

Co-Producer Form 1 (only for producers)

Use this form to itemise co-producer transactions of the common HFCs. Ensure that the totals are the same as those reported on Producer and Importer Form 1.

Producer and Importer Form 2: Other HFCs

This form should be used to report on other HFCs not listed on Form 1. Constituents of HFC preparations produced or imported as a substance and blended or imported as a preparation and re-blended by your company should also be reported on this form. Note:

If your company imported or purchased preparations that you did not re-blend, report those substances on Form 3.

Co-Producer Form 2 (only for producers)

Use this form to itemize co-producer transactions of other HFCs not listed on Co-Producer Form 1. Ensure that the totals are the same as those reported on Producer and Importer Form 2.

Importer Form 3: HFC preparations (only for importers)

This form should be used to report on imports of HFC preparations that your company did not re-blend. Note:

If your company imported HFCs for use in preparations, report those substances on Form 1 and/or Form 2.

If your company imported HFC preparations and re-blended them, report those substances on Form 1 and/or Form 2.

Image 6

Producer and Importer Form 1: HFCs

Complete the table as appropriate to account for all transactions (in metric tonnes) of HFCs for this reporting period. Producers of HFC preparations should use this form to report on each preparation constituent. (Refer to the introductory information of Part 4 for more complete instructions.) For HFCs not listed in this table, proceed to Form 2. Quantities imported or exported should include bulk shipments, including those shipped with equipment for the purpose of charging that equipment, but not quantities contained in equipment (i.e., pre-charged equipment). Importers that also purchase from Community producers or distributors, or stockpile quantities purchased from Community producers or distributors, are not responsible for reporting those amounts. If the intended application is ‘Other’ or ‘Unknown’, provide further explanation in the space below this table. Refer to Part 2 for definitions of terms.

(a) Only report on preparation types if your company did not create or re-blend the preparation; for preparations that were produced, report on each PFC constituent.

(b) If reporting on PFC preparations, indicate the preparation composition for each preparation added to the table in the space below. For preparations that also contain HFCs, report quantities on either the HFC Producer and Importer form or this form.

(c) Importers should only report on imported quantities held in stocks, i.e., not on stockpiled quantities originally obtained from Community producers or distributors (best estimates where appropriate). Producers should report all stockpiled quantities regardless of source.

(d) Total amount placed on the Community market does not include any quantities previously held by Community importers and/or distributors. Therefore, for importers, row Q should equal row M; for producers, row Q should equal row M minus any quantities sold on the Community market that were previously purchased from Community importers/distributors in this reporting year or in previous years.

(e) Identify other application(s) in the space below this table. If intended application is unknown, explain why.

Producer and Importer Form: PFCs (Continued)

Preparation composition for each PFC preparation added to the table (e.g., R-508a: 61 % Perfluoroethane, 39 % HFC-23).

Description of ‘Other’ and/or explanation of ‘Unknown’ Intended Application(s). Specify fluorinated greenhouse gas type, if intended application of more than one fluorinated greenhouse gas is marked as ‘Other’ or ‘Unknown’.

Exporter Form (all fluorinated greenhouse gas types)

Complete sections 1 and 2 to account for all quantities of fluorinated greenhouse gases exported outside of the Community during the calendar year for which this form is being submitted. Use the blank rows to report on fluorinated greenhouse gases not listed, including any preparations. For preparations that contain both HFC and PFC components, report quantities as HFC preparations or PFC preparations; do not duplicate information. Quantities should include bulk shipments, including those shipped with equipment for the purpose of charging that equipment, but not quantities contained in equipment (i.e., pre-charged equipment). Refer to Part 2 for definitions of terms.
