4.103  Method 2
  For paragraph 4.98(1)(b), method 2 for estimating emissions of hydrofluorocarbons or sulphur hexafluoride during a year uses a mass balance accounting approach using relevant global warming potentials and based on the following:
Storage at the beginning of the year, in kilograms, minus
Storage at the end of the year, in kilograms, plus
Additions (from purchases, including inside equipment, and returned to site after recycling), in kilograms, minus
Subtractions (from sales, returns to suppliers, destructions and recycling), in kilograms, minus
Changes to nameplate capacity (taking into account new and retiring equipment), in kilograms.

4.104  Method 3
 (1) For paragraph 4.98(1)(c), method 3 for estimating emissions of hydrofluorocarbons uses an aggregate loss at emissions source accounting method based upon relevant global warming potentials and including the following sources of losses:
 (a) top up of hydrofluorocarbons for leaking equipment;
 (b) complete loss of containment of equipment;
 (c) losses during filling of new (or refurbished) equipment;
 (d) complete loss of containment of cylinders;
 (e) leakage of hydrofluorocarbons from cylinders;
 (f) losses during decanting between cylinders;
 (g) losses during manual handling including handling equipment failure or accidental venting;
 (h) leakage from equipment spares in storage;
 (i) leakage from decommissioned equipment awaiting disposal;
 (j) determinations of hydrofluorocarbons loss from sealed equipment at point of disposal;
 (k) losses during reprocessing, recycling or rebottling of hydrofluorocarbons;
 (l) losses due to gas sampling and analysis.
 (2) For paragraph 4.98(1)(c), method 3 for estimating emissions of sulphur hexafluoride during a year uses the aggregate loss at emissions source accounting method based upon the relevant global warming potential and including the following sources of losses:
 (a) top up of sulphur hexafluoride for leaking equipment;
 (b) complete loss of containment of equipment;
 (c) losses during filling of new (or refurbished) equipment;
 (d) complete loss of containment of cylinders;
 (e) leakage of sulphur hexafluoride from cylinders;
 (f) losses during decanting between cylinders;
 (g) losses during manual handling including handling equipment failure or accidental venting;
 (h) leakage from equipment spares in storage;
 (i) leakage from decommissioned equipment awaiting disposal;
 (j) determinations of sulphur hexafluoride loss from sealed equipment at point of disposal;
 (k) losses during reprocessing, recycling or rebottling of sulphur hexafluoride;
 (l) losses due to gas sampling and analysis.
