Which statement is true regarding the regulations surrounding refrigerant sales?

Sales are unrestricted
Sales are limited to certified individuals
Only government officials can purchase refrigerants
Sales are based solely on price

The correct answer is: Sales are limited to certified individuals

Sales of refrigerants are regulated to ensure environmental safety and proper handling of these substances, which can be harmful if not managed correctly. The requirement that sales are limited to certified individuals means that only those who have undergone the necessary training and obtained certification can legally purchase refrigerants. This regulation is in place to ensure that individuals handling refrigerants are knowledgeable about the potential environmental impacts and legal responsibilities associated with their use, particularly concerning ozone-depleting substances and high global warming potential materials. This certification requirement helps to prevent accidental releases and promotes the responsible management of refrigerants, supporting broader environmental goals.
