Current Legislation                         Ontario has had a refrigerants regulation since 1994, A Federal/Provincial working group has now introduced a CFC phase-out strategy with specific approaches and initiatives to minimize CFC use and avoid the ultimate release of CFC's to the environment. The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) approved the CFC Phase-Out Strategy on May 1, 2001. Releases from low pressure purges to less than 0.1 kg CFC/kg air will be in effect as of 2003. Mandatory conversion or replacement of CFC-containing chillers at next overhaul will be in effect as of 2005.
