Which organization developed the standard for recovery and recycling machines to be used with flammable refrigerants?

EPA
SAE
AHRI
OSHA

The correct answer is: SAE

The standard for recovery and recycling machines used with flammable refrigerants was developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). This organization is known for setting industry standards related to the automotive sector, including specifications that ensure safety and functionality of equipment that handles flammable materials. The focus on flammable refrigerants has become increasingly important due to the rise in their use to meet environmental regulations. The SAE's involvement ensures that the equipment complies with rigorous safety standards, reducing risks associated with the use of flammable refrigerants during maintenance and repair processes. Other organizations, while relevant in the context of environmental protection or workplace safety, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), do not specifically develop standards for the technical specifications of recovery and recycling machines. The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) focuses on certification programs and also supports industry standards but does not develop the same technical standards for such equipment.
