technician to become EPA-certified to recover and contain refrigerant from both
high and low pressure air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Topics include:
refrigerant chemistry and applications; refrigerant oils and application; ozone
depletion and global warming Montreal Protocol; Clean Air Act and EPA
regulations; recovery/recycling/reclamation; container/safe handling of
refrigerants; conservation/equipment servicing and testing; waste oil; high
pressure/low pressure industrial commercial chillers.
What the instruction will include
The
four hours of instruction available prior to testing will include emphasis on
specific areas you should know from the topics covered in the training manual.
Instruction and the manual will not include training or information about HVACR
system operations. Certification requirements expect that you are an HVACR
technician and questions relating to your HVACR knowledge are on the test. The
instruction time is not required for you to take the test. Prior national
testing has shown that 92% who took the prescribed pre-test instruction were
certified.
What the test will include
The
test is four sections of 25 questions each. To pass the test you must correctly
answer a minimum of 18 questions in each section. The test includes a core
section relating to environmental impact of CFCs and HCFCs; the Clean Air Act
and EPA regulations; Type I Small Appliance; Type II High Pressure and Very
High Pressure; and Type III Low Pressure. Universal Certification is for all
three above types.

not cover
All
of the above covers section 608 of the Clean Air Act. It does not cover section
609 under which auto air conditioning falls.
