Regulatory and compliance status (R115 / Chloropentafluoroethane (CFC-115)) — fully phased out
R115 (Chloropentafluoroethane (CFC-115)) belongs to the chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), with an ODP of 0.6, and is a Class I controlled substance under the Montreal Protocol. Production and consumption have been fully halted worldwide, with presence only in very few exempted uses (e.g. essential-use exemptions, feedstock uses) and in the recovery and reclamation sector. The following are the regional status as of 2026.
EU
- RegulationOzone-Depleting Substances Regulation (EC) 1005/2009
- StatusProduction, placing on the market and use fully prohibited
- ExemptionsOnly essential uses (e.g. metered-dose inhalers), feedstock and laboratory uses may apply for exemption
- For R115Not permitted for new installations or servicing top-up; equipment must be retrofitted or replaced with alternative refrigerants
US
- RegulationClean Air Act Title VI + SNAP program
- StatusClass I substance, production and import halted since 1996
- Existing stockOnly reclaimed refrigerant is permitted for the maintenance of existing stock equipment
- For R115Only reclaimed product may be used for existing equipment; no new production/import permitted
China
- RegulationRegulations on the Administration of Ozone-Depleting Substances (2024 revision)
- StatusCFC class fully phased out; production and use prohibited
- Existing stockReclaimed refrigerant may circulate within the filing and registration system
- For R115No legal supply of virgin product; equipment must be retrofitted or decommissioned
Japan
- RegulationOzone Layer Protection Act + Act on Rational Use and Proper Management of Fluorocarbons
- StatusSpecific fluorocarbons (CFC) fully abolished
- Existing stockReclaimed refrigerant limited to existing equipment
- For R115No supply of virgin product; must be retrofitted or replaced
Other countries and regions (grouped by the Kigali Amendment)
Apart from the four columns of EU / US / China / Japan, the global 170+ Kigali parties all comply under the A5 (developing countries) / non-A5 (developed countries) groupings of the Montreal Protocol, and none impose equipment-level bans. The grouping determines the HFC reduction pace and is unrelated to geography — for example, the Middle East Gulf and India belong to A5 Group 2, while Brazil, Mexico and Chile belong to A5 Group 1 (same group as China). The table below is a quick reference for the groupings of major markets:
| Grouping | HFC reduction pace | Major countries / regions (representative) |
|---|---|---|
| A5 Group 1 (developing countries, including China) | 2024 freeze → 10% reduction by 2029 → 30% by 2035 → 50% by 2040 → 80% by 2045 | Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Egypt, Nigeria, etc. (about 140 countries in total) |
| A5 Group 2 (high-ambient-temperature group, HAT) | 2028 freeze → 10% reduction by 2032 → 20% by 2037 → 30% by 2042 → 85% by 2047 | India, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates |
| Other non-A5 (developed countries, except EU/US/Japan) | 85% reduction by 2036 / reduced to 15% by 2050 | Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Norway, United Kingdom, Russia* (first two steps delayed: 5% by 2020, 35% by 2025), etc. |
For R115: globally phased out, no legal supply of virgin product. For the complete list of Parties and groupings, refer to the UNEP Ozone Secretariat (data version 2026.09).
