EC regulation EU 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases Fluorinated greenhouse gases (f-gases) are a group of chemicals containing fluorine which includes HFCs, PFCs and SF₆. The most common f-gases are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These gases include R134a, R404A and R410A and are used in refrigeration and air conditioning, foam blowing and propellant applications. HFCs are ozone friendly, energy efficient refrigerants that are generally of low toxicity and non-flammable. Other f-gases include perfluorocarbons (PFCs), which are often used in semiconductor applications, and sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), which is commonly used in electrical switchgear. Most f-gases have a relatively high Global Warming Potential (GWP), and thus contribute to global warming if released to the atmosphere.The European Union aims to reduce the environmental impact of fluorinated gases via regulation.
