Refrigerant, Keeping Records

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 23 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S5, 2017 Audi A5 Quattro, 2016 Audi S5, 2016 Audi A5 Quattro, and 2015 Audi S5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The environmental statistics law requires records to be kept on the use of refrigerants.

Consequently, motor vehicle workshops may well have to provide the relevant local authorities with information on their use of refrigerant. It is recommended to always keep a record sheet.

NOTE:

A record sheet no longer needs to be kept in the EU due to a provision by the European Parliament in 2005. A record sheet is currently necessary when a use of 50 kg or more in the year (see also Provision (EU) no. 1005/2009).

It is recommended to keep a record sheet because the local authorities can request information regarding refrigerant use starting from a certain amount (currently starting with a use of 20 kg in a year).

Other provisions may apply in countries that are not members of the EU.
