The Executive Committee decided:
- To note:
- The report provided by UNDP on the temporary use of alternatives with high global-warming potential (GWP) in the systems houses Amino, Flexível, Purcom and U-Tech under stage II of the HCFC phase-out management plan for Brazil, contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/92/9;
- That the systems house Purcom had discontinued the temporary use of high‑GWP technology and introduced low-GWP technologies for all its clients; and
- To request UNDP to continue assisting the Government of Brazil in securing the supply of alternative technologies with low GWP to the Amino, Flexível and U-Tech systems houses, on the understanding that any incremental operating costs related to the conversions, where applicable, would not be paid until the technology originally selected or another low-GWP technology had been fully introduced, and to provide, at each meeting until the technology originally selected or another low-GWP technology had been fully introduced, a report on the status of temporary use of high-GWP alternatives, along with an update from the suppliers on the progress made towards ensuring that the selected technologies, including the associated components, were available on a commercial basis in the country.
