<p>The multi-year replacement phaseout schedule of Halon as a fire extinguishing agent in aircraft continues this year. Per Annex V of Regulation (EU) 2024/590, the final important deadline for Halon replacement in portable extinguishers used for protecting cabins and crew compartments is Dec. 31, 2025. Halon 1211, 1301, and 2402 are considered ozone-depleting substances, and their production in EU member states has been banned since 1994. However, they remain in the EU market under exemptions for certain ‘‘critical uses,” including on some aircraft systems. Over the last several years, end dates have been established for all routine and exempted use of Halon on aircraft.</p>
