F-Gas Regulations 4 July 2010
From 4 July 2010, only Technicians holding the minimum safe handling of refrigerants qualification approved by DEFRA will be permitted to work on the gas element of the Air Conditioning systems. Autocraft have invested a considerable sum in the training of 50% of their work force in order to comply with the new regulations.

Please note that the Gas currently used in modern day Vehicle Air Conditioning system (R134A) which has a GWP of 1300 is no longer manufactured.
By 2017, any new vehicles fitted with Air Conditioning will need to be charged with an alternative (HFO1234yf) due to its GWP which is only 4.
When the stocks of this gas have been exhausted your vehicles system will not run on the new gas therefore you will have no Air Conditioning.
If you keep your system serviced regularly then you will have the luxury of your Air Conditioning system for the years to come.
