The Chemical Ozone Layer Regulation (ChemOzonSchichtV) Full title: Regulation on substances that deplete the ozone layer , is a German federal law regulation banning certain the ozone layer depleting halocarbons . On December 1, 2006, it replaced the CFC-Halon Prohibition Ordinance (FCKWHalonVerbV).

It regulates usage restrictions and bans for the substances described above. In German chemicals law , further restrictions and bans on the use of chemicals (including preparations, products, etc. that contain them) are set out in the Hazardous Substances Ordinance (GefStoffV) and in the Chemicals Prohibition Ordinance (ChemVerbotsV).

In particular, the handling of the refrigerant chlorodifluoromethane (R 22) is regulated.
