Concern:
Due to a recent rule adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), new federal regulations now govern the recovery and recycling of CFC-12
(R-12) refrigerant from motor vehicle air conditioners. These regulations now require that by January 1, 1993, all service establishments which repair air
conditioning systems for payment must only use approved equipment operated only by certified technicians.
The EPA also requires air conditioning service facilities to fill out and submit to the EPA a special form (see example) certifying that they have approved
equipment and the equipment will only be operated by certified technicians. This must be done by January 1, 1993.
