  1. A technician is the last person in the disposal chain for a household refrigerator. What must they do?

    Answer: Make sure the refrigerant has been recovered, or verify that it was recovered earlier

    The final person in the disposal chain must recover the refrigerant or verify, usually with a signed statement, that it was already recovered.

  2. Which practice is allowed when testing a system for leaks?

    Answer: Using nitrogen with a trace amount of HCFC-22 as a holding charge for leak detection

    Releasing a nitrogen mixture with a trace of HCFC-22 used only as a leak-detection gas is not considered a violation, because the R-22 is not serving as a refrigerant.

  3. A commercial refrigeration appliance holding 500 lbs or more exceeded its leak threshold. How often must it be inspected for leaks afterward?

    Answer: Every quarter until it goes four quarters without exceeding the threshold

    Large commercial and industrial process refrigeration appliances that exceed the threshold need quarterly leak inspections until they show four consecutive quarters below it.

  4. After a leak repair is made, what must follow under Section 608 leak repair rules?

    Answer: An initial verification test and a follow-up verification test

    Repairs must be confirmed with an initial verification test and a follow-up verification test to make sure the repair worked.

  5. For appliances holding 50 lbs or more, what must a technician give the owner after adding refrigerant?

    Answer: An invoice or record showing how much refrigerant was added

    Technicians must give the owner documentation showing the amount of refrigerant added so the owner can calculate leak rates.

  6. Which civil penalty structure applies to Clean Air Act violations such as illegal venting?

    Answer: A fine per day for each violation

    Clean Air Act civil penalties are assessed per day, per violation, and the maximum amount is adjusted for inflation each year.

  7. Where must a certified technician keep a copy of their Section 608 certification?

    Answer: At their place of business

    Technicians must keep a copy of their certificate at their place of business.
