1) The values of total losses were calculated on the basis of the raw data sheets in the back.

2) For the "Green Freezer" (9%) of the refrigerating fluid butane were assumed lost during the use phase and the remaining butane was assumed removed without any loss in the disposal phase. For the foaming fluid pentane 4% loss of pentane was assumed during the production phase and 0.5% of the pentane in the foamwaste was assumed lost during the phase of disposal.

3) The HCFC-mix consists of a mixture of HCFC-142 and HCFC-22 (the exact composition was not mentioned).
