New requirements for importing and monitoring refrigerants

Dr. Marissa Gowrie, National Ozone Officer, Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources and Nadita Ramachala from the Standardisation Division of the Trinidad and Tobago Bureau of Standards (TTBS) have teamed up again to produce another article that was featured in the Business Day section of the Trinidad and Tobago Newsday Newspaper on Thursday 8th August, 2013.

The article entitled "New requirements for importing and monitoring refrigerants" gives an overview of the national consultation on the introduction of labeling requirements for importing and monitoring the use of refrigerants  in Trinidad and Tobago. The national consultation took place at TTBS's Head Office in Macoya on July 15, 2013.  Representatives from the air-conditioning, refrigeration and fumigation sectors were present at the consultation as well as major importers; distributors; Government agencies and custom brokers were in attendance. 

This initiative, spearheaded through the collaboration between the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources and TTBS, is intended to ensure that the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector operates in conformity with good health, safety and environmental standards as well as national efforts to address the ozone depletion.
