Phase-down 2025: what operators should plan now
F-Gas quotas are declining. High-GWP refrigerants such as R404A or R507A are becoming scarcer - we help with prioritization, conversions and documentation.
What changes in 2025
EU quotas for fluorinated refrigerants are reduced again. This increases cost pressure and tightens supply even if systems still operate reliably.
What operators should check now
A clear overview helps meet deadlines and plan investments cleanly.
- Which refrigerants are in use and which will become critical.
- Serviceability and spare-part risks per system.
- Options for retrofit or replacement.
- Documentation duties (tightness checks, logbook, recovery).
How IFRA helps
We support operators from assessment to conversion.
- Inventory review with risk-based prioritization.
- Retrofit planning incl. alternative refrigerants.
- Implementation during ongoing operations and documentation.
- Evidence for auditors, authorities and insurers.
