Issued13 Jun 1999
Issued byFederal Environment Agency (UAE)
What it is and does
This was the UAE's first rule on the circulation of ozone-depleting substances. It covered CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, CFC-114, CFC-115, the blends R-500 and R-502, and halons 1211 and 1301. The UAE reports that it fully banned CFCs and halons by the 2010 deadline. For technicians this is mainly history: R-12 and R-502 must not be sold or reused except through recovery.
Who it affects
Historical; anyone still finding R-12 or R-502 in old equipment
Key points
- CFCs (R-11, R-12, R-502) and halons are fully phased out in the UAE
- Recover these gases from old equipment; do not vent them
- Later rules (Cabinet Resolution 26/2014) govern ozone-depleting substances today
