According to the CAA, what must service shops certify to the EPA regarding their recovery processes?

  1. They own approved technology

  2. They use non-ozone depleting substances

  3. They own approved recovery equipment

  4. They follow all federal guidelines

The correct answer is: They own approved recovery equipment

Service shops must certify to the EPA that they own approved recovery equipment because this is a specific requirement set forth to ensure that the equipment used for refrigerant recovery is capable of safely and effectively removing refrigerants from systems. The emphasis on approved recovery equipment is vital for preventing the release of harmful substances into the environment and adhering to regulations that protect air quality and comply with the Clean Air Act. Using verified and tested technology helps guarantee that recovery practices minimize any potential harm to the atmosphere, supporting the overall goal of environmental protection. This requirement is a core element of maintaining compliance with federal regulations aimed at reducing pollution and enhancing safety in the handling of refrigerants.
