Reporting Refrigerant Leakage Rates from Mobile Air Conditioners

In 2008, State Legislation was passed that requires reporting of leakage rates from motor vehicle air conditioners using HFC-134a as a refrigerant. This law applies to new vehicles that are to be sold in Minnesota on or after January 1, 2009. Auto manufacturers must report the leakage rate of refrigerant to MPCA at least 90 days before the first date the vehicle is offered for sale.

The reporting requirement applies to light duty vehicles and medium duty passenger vehicles and includes model year 2009 and later.
