FAR 52.223-11 Ozone-Depleting Substances and High Global Warming Potential Hydrofluorocarbons

Does the regulation require it to flow down?

No

The current text has no flow-down paragraph; primes include it because the required labeling comes from the factory — only the item's manufacturer can comply

A clause can reach your subcontract without a mandate. Once it is in your document, it is a contract term all the same. The missing mandate is a fact about the regulation. It is not a ruling on your order.

What it makes you produce

One item for your checklist.

  1. Something you write

    Days to weeks, and nobody outside your company has to agree to it.

    • The warning label on any product containing or manufactured with an ozone-depleting substance, naming the substance in the words the clause prints

      FAR 52.223-11(b)

When it is used

Supplies contracts for products containing or manufactured with ozone-depleting substances (ODS) or high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) — refrigerants, aerosols, solvents, foams. No dollar threshold in the text.

Read closely

The label form comes from 42 U.S.C. 7671j and 40 CFR part 82 subpart E, and the substance list — chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and the hydrochlorofluorocarbons — is in (a). (c) points at the EPA Significant New Alternatives Policy list for lower global warming potential alternatives and asks for no filing. Refrigerants, aerosols, solvents and foams are where the question starts, and the answer usually comes from the material supplier's own classification.

This is research, not legal advice. It states what the regulation says about this clause and cites the paragraph behind it. It does not rule on your order, and it does not rule on whether a prime's markings are correct.
