Evaporation losses

The Twenty-sixth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:

(c)  to request the Secretariat and the Implementing Agencies to examine in detail the technical issues of evaporation losses of ODS, as well as the question of how such losses should be taken into account in determining the eligible level of compensation to be provided to an enterprise, with a view to submitting a report on their findings to the Sub-Committee on Project Review at its sixteenth meeting;

(d)  to agree that any similar projects submitted to the next meeting should be reviewed and approved consistent with the conclusions reached by the Sub-Committee on the report prepared pursuant to subparagraph (c) above.

(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/26/70, Decision 26/13, para. 36(c, d)).

The Twenty-seventh Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:

(a)  to reaffirm its decision 26/13 (a) and (b) in which the Committee:

      (i)   requested the Implementing Agencies, in the preparation of projects, to take extreme care to ensure the reliability and accuracy of data on ODS consumption and make available to the Secretariat figures normally provided by enterprises on ODS purchased by the enterprises and ODS used in the products being produced; and also

      (ii)  requested that the enterprises for which projects were being prepared made available their relevant records to provide the best available information to the Implementing Agencies concerning ODS purchased and used;

(b)  to request the Implementing Agencies, when preparing foam projects, to determine within the context of paragraphs (a) (i) and (ii) above, the ODS evaporation losses arising out of the production activity; and

(c)  to consider as eligible ODS consumption of the enterprise losses of up to 10 per cent of the ODS purchased and used in the production of foam.

(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/48, Decision 27/76, para. 107).
