Halon replacement in the aviation industry guide 2025 | EASA

The European Union has developed a guide to support the aviation industry in complying with Regulation (EU) 2024/590, known as the Ozone Regulation, which mandates the replacement of halon. This guide, created by the European Commission and EASA, provides clarifications on cut-off dates and the derogation process. The next significant deadline for replacing halon in portable extinguishers for cabins and crew compartments is set for December 31, 2025.
