The F-Gases list includes synthetic refrigerants with a high global warming effect. Reducing the use of these substances has been given a high priority within the United Nations' environmental policy.

When a new list is available it is updated in our service so that you can import it into SOFOS360.

To import the new list, select “Retrieve F-Gases list” and a pop-up will appear. When you select “Process F-Gases list” in the pop-up, the list will be retrieved from our web service.

If there are substances within SOFOS360 that are on the F-Gas list, they will be marked as F-Gas substances during import. If the “Respect list” box is ticked, the information on the F-Gas list will take precedence. For substances that are not on the F-Gas list and where it may have been manually indicated that the substance should be considered an F-Gas substance, the “F-Gas” box is unchecked.

When the “Respect List” box is unchecked, the “F-Gas” field will only be set if the substance is on the list. For substances not on the list, the “F-Gas” field will not be updated.
