  1. Under EPA regulations, what is the annual leak rate threshold that triggers mandatory repair obligations for comfort cooling equipment with ≥50 lb charge?

    Answer: 15%

    Comfort cooling appliances with a full charge of 50 or more pounds must be repaired if the annual leak rate exceeds 15%.

  2. How soon after discovering a leak exceeding the applicable leak rate must an owner begin repair of a refrigerant appliance under Section 608?

    Answer: Within 30 days

    Owners must begin repair of leaking appliances within 30 days of discovering the leak rate exceeds the applicable threshold.

  3. Which type of refrigerant transaction does NOT need to be logged in a distributor's sales records under EPA Section 608?

    Answer: Sale of small cans (under 2 lb) of R-22 to consumers

    Small cans containing less than 2 pounds of Class II refrigerant sold to consumers for self-service small appliances are exempt from certain sales record requirements.

  4. When an appliance is permanently removed from service (retired), what must the technician's record confirm about refrigerant handling?

    Answer: Refrigerant was recovered before disposal

    Records must document that all refrigerant was properly recovered prior to disposal of the appliance.

  5. An EPA inspector requests service records for a supermarket's refrigeration system. The records show refrigerant was added 18 months ago. Under Section 608, are these records still required to be available?

    Answer: Yes, records must be kept for 3 years

    Section 608 requires service records for large appliances to be retained for a minimum of 3 years, so 18-month-old records are still required.

  6. Which statement best describes the recordkeeping obligation for refrigerant recovered from a small appliance (less than 5 lbs)?

    Answer: No records are required for small appliance recovery

    EPA Section 608 does not require service records for refrigerant recovery from small appliances with charges under 5 pounds.

  7. Under Section 608, purchasers of refrigerants in containers larger than 20 pounds must provide what to the refrigerant seller?

    Answer: Signed statement that they are certified technicians

    Sellers of refrigerant in containers over 20 pounds must obtain a signed statement of EPA certification from the purchaser.
