Regulatory and compliance status (R448A / R448A (Solstice N40))
R448A (R448A (Solstice N40)) has an ODP of 0 and is not an ozone-depleting substance, and therefore is not bound by the Montreal Protocol phase-out schedule; but as a fluorinated greenhouse gas (F-gas, GWP 1387), it is controlled under the Kigali Amendment and the HFC reduction policies of major economies. The following are the regional status as of 2026, for reference in procurement and compliance decisions.
EU
- RegulationF-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573, in force since 2024-03-11
- HFC quota60% in 2025–28, 30% in 2029–33, 20% in 2034–35, 15% from 2036; HFC fully phased out by 2050
- New equipment restrictionsNew refrigeration/air-conditioning equipment with GWP>150 has been banned for sale in phases since 2022 (commercial refrigeration 2022, standalone equipment 2025, fully by 2030)
- For R448AGWP 1387 > 150 — not permitted for new equipment of this type in the EU; servicing or top-up of existing equipment is unaffected
US
- RegulationAmerican Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act (in force since 2020-12-27)
- TargetHFC production and consumption reduced by 85% by 2036
- Quota cap60% in 2024–28, 30% in 2029–33, 20% in 2034–35, 15% from 2036
- For R448ARegulated HFC, exchange value accounted by GWP 1387
China
- RegulationKigali Amendment (entered into force for China on 2021-09-15)
- Baseline2024 production/consumption freeze (production 18.53 billion tCO₂e, consumption 9.05 billion tCO₂e)
- Reduction10% reduction by 2029, 30% by 2035, 50% by 2040, 80% by 2045
- For R448AProduction and use are subject to quota management
- Domestic procurement qualificationHFC-class refrigerants require environmental filing; see the Q&A below (system: new-ods.ozone.org.cn)
Japan
- RegulationAct on Rational Use and Proper Management of Fluorocarbons
- MechanismSets caps based on “weighted-average GWP” for designated products + compliance deadlines (not an all-sector ban)
- Typical capsDomestic air conditioning ≤750 (2018), commercial air conditioning ≤750 (2020), automotive air conditioning ≤150 (2023), condensing/freezing units ≤1500 (2025), cold storage ≤100 (2019)
- For R448AGWP 1387 exceeds residential air conditioners (≤750), commercial air conditioners (≤750), vehicle air conditioners (≤150), cold stores (≤100) — such new equipment must switch to a lower-GWP refrigerant
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 R448A: subject to quota constraints, long-term supply restricted and prices trending upward. For the complete list of Parties and groupings, refer to the UNEP Ozone Secretariat (data version 2026.09).
