  1. With the exception of a very small number of internationally agreed essential uses that are considered critical to human health and/or laboratory and analytical procedures.
  2. Based on 1989 HCFC consumption with an extra allowance (ODP weighted) equal to 2.8% of 1989 CFC consumption.
  3. Up to 0.5% of base level consumption can be used until 2030 for servicing existing equipment.
  4. All reductions include an exemption for pre-shipment and quarantine uses.
  5. Review in 2003 to decide on interim further reductions beyond 2005.
