• SF₆ emissions should be avoided - whenever possible!
• In the Kyoto protocol, the member states committed themselves to reducing SF₆ emissions

1. Measurement of the gas quality of a SF₆-switchgear
   - products
   - volume percentage
   - dew point temperature
2. Recovery and handling of contaminated SF₆-gas, preparation of SF6-gas for reuse
3. Recording of the SF₆-gas quantity recovered (Monitoring)
4. Quality measurement of purified gas
5. Reuse of purified SF₆-gas
