Refrigerant bans & transition deadlines: what applies in 2025?

From 2025, new bans and transition rules apply to certain applications. We help you find compliant alternatives and meet deadlines.

Which applications are affected

Rules differentiate between new systems, service cases and application areas. Systems using high-GWP refrigerants such as R404A or R507A are particularly affected.

Use transition periods wisely

A clear overview helps meet deadlines and manage costs.

  • Review existing systems and define conversion timing.
  • Check availability of compliant alternatives and delivery times.
  • Plan investments so later bans do not become bottlenecks.
  • Secure documentation and operator obligations early.

IFRA supports implementation

We guide you from evaluation to rollout.

  • Application review and option comparison.
  • Retrofit or replacement planning.
  • Coordination, installation and documentation.
