‘global warming potential’ or ‘GWP’ means the climatic warming potential of a greenhouse gas relative to that of carbon dioxide (‘CO’), calculated in terms of the 100-year warming potential of one kilogram of a greenhouse gas relative to one kilogram of CO, as set out in Annexes I, II and IV or in the case of mixtures, calculated in accordance with Annex IV.

(20) In order to take technological progress and the development of markets affected by this Regulation into account, and to ensure compliance with international agreements, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission with regard to the following: specifying requirements for standard leakage checks; extending the list of equipment subject to mandatory recovery of fluorinated greenhouse gases; specifying minimum requirements and the conditions for the mutual recognition of training programmes for persons who install, maintain, repair ...[+++]or decommission the equipment and who check leaks and recover fluorinated greenhouse gases, and for the certification of those persons and of companies that perform such tasks; amending labelling requirements; prohibiting the placing on the market of more products and equipment that contain or rely on fluorinated greenhouse gases; amending the maximum quantities of hydrofluorocarbons that may be placed on the market and exempting the supply of hydrofluorocarbons for specific critical uses from the quota requirement for health and safety reasons; determining the rules for recalculating reference values for the placing on the market of hydrofluorocarbons by individual undertakings and amending or supplementing the mechanism for the allocation of quotas; revising the thresholds for reporting requirements; establishing requirements for the reporting systems on emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases and the use of the data on emissions collected by the Member States; including other substances with a significant global warming potential in the lists of substances covered by this Regulation and updating the lists on the basis of new scientific findings, in particular the global warming potential of the substances listed in the annexes to the Regulation.

3. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 20 amending the list set out in Annex III to include other products and equipment that contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential of 150 or more, or that rely on them to work, if it has been established that alternatives to the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases or to the use of specific types of fluorinated greenhouse gases are available, and their use would result in lower overall greenhouse gas emissions and to exclude, where appropriate for a specified period of time, certain categories of products or equipment for which ...[+++] alternative substances which fall below the specified global warming potential limit are not available for technical, economic or safety reasons.

‘global warming potential’ or ’ GWP’ means the climatic warming potential of a greenhouse gas relative to that of carbon dioxide (‘CO2 ’), calculated in terms of the 100-year warming potential of one kilogram of a greenhouse gas relative to one kilogram of CO2 , as set out in Annexes I, II and IV or in the case of mixtures, calculated in accordance with Annex IV ;
