Proposal for requirements for permits for the import, manufacture and export of HFCs:
- A person will require a permit to import a HFC
- A person will require a permit to export a HFC
- A person will require a permit to manufacture a HFC
- In applying for a permit, a person will have to provide information such as the quantity, name of substance and intended use.
- A person issued a permit to import, export or manufacture a HFC will be required to submit an annual report confirming the quantities of the HFCs.
3 Definition: A compound consisting of hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon with the following formula: CnHxF(2n+2-x) in which 0<n<6
