Recital 21

(21) Where technically suitable alternatives are available and consistent with Union competition policy, the putting into operation of new electrical switchgear with relevant fluorinated greenhouse gases should be prohibited. Where it is necessary to extend existing electrical equipment, one or more additional cells with fluorinated greenhouse gases, with the same GWP as the existing cells, can be added if a technology using fluorinated greenhouse gases with a lower GWP would entail the replacement of the entire electrical equipment.
