Table 8-2 provides the HTOC 2010 Assessment of current estimates of inventories for halon 1211. Figure 8-2 provides the regional distribution of the global inventory of halon 1211. As shown in Table 8-2 and Figure 8-2, over 60% of the current inventory of halon 1211 is projected to be in Article 5 countries with the clear majority being in handheld extinguishers and unused stocks in China. As halon 1211 handheld fire extinguishers can no longer be produced or sold in China as of the end of 2005, and it is mandatory to retire in-service halon fire extinguishers after 10 years of service, it is anticipated that unwanted halon 1211 stocks continue to build-up in China. Efforts should be made to recover the halon 1211 from these retired handheld fire extinguishers in order to avoid unnecessary emissions. The HTOC is aware that a number of Parties are seeking recycled halon 1211 for important applications and are having difficulties in finding it.
