EU poultry producers unaware of new refrigerant laws
 

Almost 80 percent of EU poultry producers would be prosecuted if a law set to regulate the containment of refrigerant gas slated to come into effect is implemented now, according to energy monitoring and leak detection specialists Parasense.

Although the exact penalties are as yet unknown, heavy fines are expected.

The companies urged organisations using refrigeration equipment or chillers would  to be aware of how much F-Gas their facility contains so as to gauge the impact the ruling would have on their business.

Parasense believes many businesses with equipment containing more than 3kg of refrigerant are unaware of the legislation.
