|---|---|---|
| 2 kg | 2.86 t | This charge stays below the 5 t CO₂-eq threshold. No periodic leak check is required. |
| 3.5 kg | 5.005 t | At least every 12 months |
| 25 kg | 35.75 t | At least every 12 months |
| 34.97 kg | 50.007 t | At least every 6 months |

Alternatives
Lower-GWP refrigerants used in comparable applications. An alternative is rarely a drop-in: safety class, pressure and oil can all differ.
In CertiFlow
When you book a charge with this refrigerant, the CO₂ equivalent is calculated using the GWP above and fixed at that moment. A later change to the table does not alter your history.
