Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/879
of 2 June 2016
establishing, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, detailed arrangements relating to the declaration of conformity when placing refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons on the market and its verification by an independent auditor
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006(1), and in particular Article 14(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 14(2) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 allows placing on the market of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons, if the hydrofluorocarbons contained in the equipment are accounted for within the quota system referred to in Chapter IV of that Regulation. When placing pre-charged equipment on the market, manufacturers and importers of the equipment are to document compliance with that requirement and to draw up a declaration of conformity in that respect.
(2) In drawing up the declarations of conformity and documentation, it is necessary to provide for the different options reflecting the different ways of ensuring compliance available to manufacturer and importers. These options refer to placing on the market equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons subject to an authorisation pursuant to Article 18(2) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons that have previously been placed on the market as bulk and subsequently re-exported and charged into the equipment outside the Union and equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons in the Union. Different type of documents are required from importers and manufacturers reflecting the different type of activities carried out by these undertakings.
(3) To ensure that declarations of conformity based on authorisations pursuant to Article 18(2) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 are credible, it is important to ensure that such authorisations can be traced. In this respect, these authorisations should be duly registered in the registry established pursuant to Article 17 of that Regulation.
(4) To provide guidance for the third party verification of the declaration of conformity and underlying documentation required by Article 14(2) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, the scope of this verification, as well as the modalities for the submission of the verification documents should be determined.
(5) For reasons of consistency, it is necessary that the relevant provisions laid down in this Regulation and the relevant provisions laid down in Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 apply from the same dates.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 24 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014,
