关于小型空调设备的重要公告

以下内容来自澳大利亚SAA Approval

关于小型空调设备的重要公告，该公告影响涉及到所有制造商和进口商，内容如下：

We have been advised by the Department of Climate Change that from 1 July 2024, Australia will ban the import and manufacture of small air conditioning equipment using refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) over 750. The ban will apply to equipment designed to use refrigerant over 750 GWP, even if the equipment is imported without refrigerant.

我司接到气候变化部门的通知，从2024年7月1号起，澳大利亚将禁止进口和生产其制冷剂变暖潜力指数（GWP）750的小型空调设备. 该禁令针对设计成可使用750GWP的设备，即使该设备在进口到澳大利亚时并不含有制冷剂.

This ban targets equipment designed to heat or cool a stationary space (mainly for human comfort), such as the window units or non-ducted split systems, that would hold a charge of up to 2.6kg of refrigerant.

该禁令针对设计来用于加热或冷却一限定空间（主要用于提高人体舒适感）的设备, 例如可以使用高达2.6kg冷冻剂的窗式或分体式装置.

Exempt from ban:

禁令豁免类设备：

Refrigerators 冰箱

Cars 汽车

Airconditioning systems in caravans or boats 房车或船只上的空调系统

Computer room airconditioners 电脑房空调

The move is not unexpected, coming after a consultation with industry in 2021 on a proposed ban. Such a measure would speed up the transition away from gas with higher GWP value such as R410A (GWP of 2,088), to gas with lower GWP value such as R32 (GWP of 675). Please find here the list of GWP values for all gases.

这一举措并非始料未及，起源于2021年提出的一个行业内草案. 该举措将加速从高GWP值气体(例如R410A (GWP of 2,088))的排放，转变为低GWP值气体(例如R32 (GWP of 675))的排放的进程. 请参阅GWP values，该处列出了所有气体的GWP值.

Existing certificates are unaffected. However, we advise manufacturers to begin to get ready for the ban.

现有证书不受影响. 但是我们建议制造商可以开始针对此禁令做准备了.
