Refrigerant Reclaim Australia (RRA) is the product stewardship organisation for the Australian refrigeration and air conditioning industry.

RRA is a not-for-profit organisation created to work nationally with industry to share the responsibility for, and costs of, recovering, reclaiming and destroying surplus and unwanted refrigerants.

From 1 April 2004 it has been a requirement under the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989 (the Act) to have a Pre-charged Equipment License to import air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment that is pre-charged charged with a substance that is, or contains, an HFC or HCFC.

A condition of the License is the importer participates in an approved product stewardship scheme.  This is the service RRA provides.

The Department of Environment and Water Resources (DEWR) issues and administers the Pre-charged Equipment License. 

For more information on the License see the DEWR web site http://www.environment.gov.au/atmosphere/ozone/licences/index.html
