Quote: red900ss If the has is being released to atmosphere then it kind of defeats the purpse. ^^ I believe that it would be released into the atmosphere as it cannot go anywhere else; so in all this law is a waste of time and money.

from 1st April 2004 it will be an offence under the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989 (the Act) to import air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment that is pre-charged with a substance that is, or contains, a HFC or HCFC without a pre-charged equipment licence. Industry consultation on the changes has unfortunately not been comprehensive and appears to have excluded critical parties such as vehicle importers and Customs Agents. So despite a detailed discussion paper outlining the proposed reporting requirements for pre-charged equipment licences being distributed to industry in January 2004 (comments were sought by close of business on 20th February 2004), the aforementioned parties have until last week been unaware of the implications of the new legislation. Meaning of course that virtually all those importing vehicles to Australia have only just become aware of the requirements now, and some are still unaware. For the full detail, see: http://www.deh.gov.au/atmosphere/ozone/lic...re-charged.html http://www.deh.gov.au/atmosphere/ozone/lic...nces/index.html These new regulations not only affect vehicles with airconditioners containing the older refrigerants, but also newer vehicles manufactured after about 1994 with the accepted replacement gas. The upshot is that all airconditioning systems containing the old gas must be de-gassed prior to import. This obviously affects all 1989 and older vehicles being imported under the 15 year rule, but also many other vehicles up to 1994 being imported under SEVS. All airconditioning systems containing the replacement gas must be imported under a licence. If a licence is not available, then they must be de-gassed prior to import. Written evidence from an authorised company of this having been undertaken will be required for Customs clearance. The Govt. envisages that all workshops under SEVS will obtain the necessary licence, but at the moment only some SEVS workshops are intending to go this way and others are stating that all cars must be de-gassed since they are not applying for a licence. There has been some talk of a once-off licence for individuals to cater for those importing their own vehicles that might otherwise be caught out by the late notice of the legislation, but the details have not been finalised as far as we are aware. We understand that the old gas was used in vehicle airconditioning units up until about 1994 when the changeover occurred. However, there was no definite cut-off period, with dates varying from model to model and between manufacturers just depending on the release date for new models. Which of course makes it necessary to check every single vehicle carefully over about a 5-year period prior to purchase. Where required, vehicles sourced for our customers will be de-gassed in Japan by an authorised company and written proof supplied, at a cost of 10,000 yen (about $120) per vehicle. From now on, this cost will be included in FOB prices and price estimates you see on our Mailing List. Re-gassing of vehicles once in Australia will be required to make the airconditioning work again, and is expected to cost about $150 for most vehicles. However, customers are encouraged to make their own enquiries based on individual circumstances. Needless to say, the lack of forward notice to industry on this issue has resulted in an unpleasant addition to our workload and an unwelcome complication for customers in progress. It has meant that many vehicles booked and ready to leave Japan over coming weeks have had to be booked on subsequent vessels, causing arrival delays and additional expense in some cases. We are managing this as best we can, so as to minimise the impact on our customers, however delays of up to a month are inevitable for some customers so as to accomodate the new requirements despite the best efforts of suppliers to maintain the intended shipping schedules. We are aware of many others shipping vehicles at the moment who have decided to ship them as planned and see what happens when they arrive. While there may be some leeway given by Customs in policing the new requirements, we don't feel that this "she'll be right" attitude is a responsible approach to take, and doing so would present an unacceptable risk for customers. We won't know how Customs will handle this issue after 1st April, until we hear what happens to these other importers. Sadly, we have also heard of some importers who have released the gas to atmosphere in Japan before shipping quite a number of vehicles. Obviously this is extremely detrimental to the environment and will result in active ozone destruction in coming years that could easily have been avoided. This is a shameful outcome primarily in response to the lack of warning about the new regulations which has put importers in a very difficult position. If you are aware of anyone else considering this approach, please strongly encourage them to do the right thing by having the gas recovered by an authorised contractor. ----------------------------- Quote: Prestiege Motorsport - Sorry if this has been posted my another member. :wavey:
