3. NationalResponsetoOzoneDepletion The Philippines signed the Montreal Protocol on September 14, 1988 and ratied it on March 21, 1991. The Philippine Ozone Desk (POD) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental ManagementBureau(DENR-EMB)isthenationalcoordinatorofprogramsfor theimplementationoftheMontrealProtocol.Itisalsoknownasthecountry’s NationalOzoneUnit(NOU).
The Philippines’ commitment to the Montreal Protocol is to phase out its consumption of all ODS according to the agreed timetable for Article 5 or developing countries. Article 5 countries are given a grace period of 10 years,whichmeansthatdevelopedcountriesmustphaseoutODSaheadof developingcountries. The Montreal Protocol denes consumption as production plus import minusexport. SincethePhilippines isneithera producernoranexporterof ODS,its consumption is equal to its importation. Aspart of its monitoring and regulatory function, DENR-EMB has been charged with issuance of clearancesofallODSimportations.Theimportofpesticidemethylbromide ismonitored/controlledbytheFertilizerandPesticideAuthority(FPA)ofthe DepartmentofAgriculture(DA).TheBureauofCustomsenforcestheDENR andDAregulationsontheimportandexportofODSbycheckingifimporters have the necessary permits from the DENR or DA to allow entry to the nationalterritory.

5. TheRevisedRegulationsontheChemicalControlOrderforODS DENR Administrative Order Number 2013-25, also known as the “Revised Regulations ontheChemicalControlOrderforOzoneDepletingSubstances,” wassignedbytheDENRSecretaryon26December2013andwaspublished for general circulation on10January2014.Thisis the secondrevisionofthe CCO following DAO 2000-18 (Chemical Control Order for Ozone Depleting Substances) DAO 2004-08 (Revised Chemical Control Order for Ozone DepletingSubstances).
TherationaleforupdatingtheCCOincludedthefollowing: • Toupdatethephase-outstatusofcontrolledsubstancescoveredbythe MontrealProtocolonSubstancesthatDepletetheOzoneLayer; • Toreecttheacceleratedphase-outscheduleforhydrochlorouorocarbons (HCFCs)asperDecisionXIX/6oftheNineteenthMeetingofthePartiesto theMontrealProtocol;and • ToprovidethecontinuinglegalbasisforODSphase-out.
03
ImplicationsoftheRevisedRegulationsontheCCOforODS The revised regulations on the CCO will have implications on the different sectorsthatuseODS,particularlythosethatuseHCFCs,amongothers: ODSImportation Any importer ofODS,excludingimporters of methyl bromide,must register with the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). As before, an importer of ODSmustsecureannuallyacerticateofregistrationfromEMBandaPreShipment Importation Clearance (PSIC) prior to the entry of each ODS shipment within the Philippine territory. Importers must follow updated phase-out schedule for HCFCs and the quota allocation for HCFCs and conform to the “one-shipment, one clearance” policy. Distribution of ODS shallbelimitedtoEMB-registereddealers,resellersandretailersofODS.As of 2010, only HCFCs are allowed to be imported in the Philippines among theODS.OtherODS,includingCFCs,havebeenbannedforimportationby1 January2010. ODSExportationandDestruction The new CCO further regulates the export of controlled substances, in any form, whether alone or in mixtures, including those that are used, stored, reclaimed, recycled, or recovered as well as unwanted ODS. The export of wastes containing ODS shall, however, be governed by the appropriate Department rules and regulations on hazardous waste management and the Basel Convention. Like importers, ODS exporters must secure annually a certicateofregistration from EMB anda Pre-Shipment Export Clearance (PSEC)priortotheexitofeachODSshipmentfromthePhilippineterritory. DistributionofODSintheCountry Only dealers, resellersand retailersof ODS thatare registeredwiththeEMB and accredited by the DTI are allowed to purchase, re-sell, distribute, and utilizeallowableusesofODS.Dealersandretailersshouldalsoadheretothe Code of Practice for Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (2013 update), and shouldkeeparecordoftheirODSsalesforreferenceduringinspection.Sale ofODSisallowedonlytoserviceshops/providersaccreditedbytheDTIwith aTESDA-certiedtechnician.Saleanduseofsmalldisposablecontainers(less than1kg)withODSisnotpermitted. ServicingofODS-usingEquipment Service providers of ODS-using equipment, such as air-conditioners and refrigeration equipment, must secure a certicate of registration from the DENR to assess their capability to take effective measures, including the necessary equipment, technology, training and infrastructure, for the purpose of effectively handling ODS, including responsible re-use of refrigerants, minimizing theiremissions, and ultimately, phasingout theirusebyreplacing withsubstitutesoralternativesdulyrecognizedandcertiedbytheDENR/EMB. 04
DENR encourages the technicians and mechanics of service providers to obtaincerticationfromTESDAonthenecessaryskillsandcompetencies,and theacquiringofDTIaccreditationtoensuretheavailabilityofnecessarytools andequipmentforenvironmentally-friendlyservicing.Serviceprovidersmust also adhere to the goodpracticesinhandlingandworkingwithrefrigerants set forth in the Code of Practice for Refrigeration and Air-conditioning adopted by the DENR in 2013. From period 2030-2040, an annual HCFC importation of 2.5%of the baselineconsumptionshall beallowedfor usein theservicingsector. FoamManufacturing By 1 January 2015, when HCFC imports shall have been reduced by 10% based on the recorded baseline consumption, all importation ofHCFC-141b andpre-blendedpolyolsforfoam(rigidandexible)manufacturingwillalso be prohibited. Hence, all foam manufacturers are encouraged to shift to alternativetechnologiesinfoammanufacturing. RefrigerationandAir-conditioning By 1 January 2020, when HCFC imports shall have been reduced by 35% based on the recorded baseline consumption, all importation of HCFC22 for the manufacturing of refrigeration and air-conditioning will also be absolutelyprohibited.Hence,companiesareencouragedtoshifttoalternative technologiesinthissectorbefore2020. ChillersandFire-extinguishing By 1 January 2025, when HCFC imports shall have been reduced by 67.5% basedontherecordedbaselineconsumption,allimportationofHCFC-123 as coolingagentforchillersandasreextinguishingagentwillbeprohibited. Hence,companiesareencouragedtoshifttoalternativetechnologiesinthis sectorbefore2025. HCFCBlends By 1 January 2030, when HCFC imports shall have been reduced by 97.5% based on the recorded baseline consumption, all importation of blends containingHCFCswillbeprohibited.Hence,allsectorsthatuseHCFCblends mustshifttoalternativebefore2030.

Section1.BasicPolicy. It is the policy of the State to regulate, restrict or prohibit the importation, manufacture, processing, sale, distribution, use and disposal of chemical substancesandmixturesthatpresentunreasonableriskand/orinjurytohealthor environment.Thispolicyincludestheexportanddestructionofozone-depleting substances to abate or minimize risks and hazards to the stratospheric ozone, publichealth,andtheenvironment.
