Regulation 1005/2009 which controls the production, impact, export, placing on the market, recovery, recycling,<br />
reclamation and destruction of substances that deplete the ozone layer.<br />
The 2009 regulations take into account changes made by the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gas Regulations 2009 (as amended<br />

persons carrying out work which involves recovering, recycling, reclaiming and destroying controlled substances; and<br />
preventing and minimising the leakage of controlled substances.<br />

by DECC. Annual flare consents must be obtained from DECC. During commissioning and start up flare consents for<br />
short durations can be issued until flaring levels have stabilised. Flaring requirements must not exceed installations’ flare<br />
consent.<br />

consent will have conditions associated with it including volume, rate of discharge and concentrations of specified<br />
substances.<br />
