Halon Phaseout Proposed by EASA
Onboard fire extinguishers would be affected by proposal, though halon extinguishers would still be used for APUs and engines.

The European Aviation Safety Agency proposed a phase-out schedule for the use of halon in fire extinguishers in the cabins and lavatories of future Part 25 business aircraft and airliners, as well as Part 29 rotorcraft. It claims that there are currently or soon will be two non-halon alternative fire-extinguishing agents available for these compartments.
