  1  OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES  
Outline of System  
1. Kazakhstan manages its obligations for ozone depleting substances controlled by the Montreal 
Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The import, export and manufacture of the 
ozone depleting substances is prohibited under the Montreal Protocol , except where an essential or 
critical use exemption has been granted by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. Kazakhstan's 
Montreal Protocol obligations are implemented through a system of licensing.  
 
Purposes and coverage of licensing  
2. The requiremen ts of the licensing systems are:  
 
- import or export of ozone depleting substances;  
- pre-charged equipment containing ozone -depleting substances.  
 
Strict conditions and reporting requirements apply in relation to all licences issued.
