R32 Fast Facts

In Australia, R32 refrigerant is mainly used in split system air conditioners. R32 is a scheduled substance so a Refrigerant Handling Licence is required to use this refrigerant, and a Refrigerant Trading Authorisation is required to purchase it.

R32 is mildly flammable. For more information on how to handle flammable refrigerants, refer to the Flammable Refrigerants Safety Guide from the Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating (AIRAH) online at www.pointsbuild.com.au/airah under ‘managing health and safety risks for flammable refrigerants’.
