On October 2, 2024, Ecology announced the Hydrofluorocarbons and other fluorinated gases rule to make amendments to Chapter 173-443 WAC. This chapter establishes requirements for the transition to more climate-friendly refrigerants and refrigerant substitutes in air conditioning and refrigeration, aerosol propellants, and foam in Washington. It also establishes a refrigerant management program to address refrigerants leaking from existing large equipment in Washington.
This rulemaking makes amendments to Chapter 173-443 WAC. These will include revisions to WAC 173-443-075 to modify the sell-through provision, revisions to WAC 173-443-040 to modify the prohibitions for Automatic Commercial Ice Machines (ACIMs), and other necessary technical and administrative changes throughout the chapter.
