About EPA

EPA regulations (40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F) under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act require that technicians who maintain, service, repair, or dispose of equipment that could release ozone-depleting refrigerants into the atmosphere must be certified. This requirement will also applies to appliances containing most substitute refrigerants, including HFCs. The EPA has also placed a sales restriction on refrigerants, limiting the sale of regulated refrigerants to certified technicians only.

Technicians who violate the Clean Air Act provisions may be fined, lose their certification & may be required to appear in Federal Court.

Types of Certification

EPA has developed four types of certification:

1. For servicing small appliances (Type I).
2. For servicing or disposing of high- or very high-pressure appliances, except small appliances and MVACs (Type II).
3. For servicing or disposing of low-pressure appliances (Type III).
4. For servicing all types of equipment (Universal).

Please bring a photo ID, calculator (not on a smartphone), and #2 pencil. If you are already EPA certified and need to test for a higher/Universal certification, please bring your current EPA license to class as well.
