This document contains 120 exam-style questions with correct answers for the EPA 609 Technician Certification 2026 exam . The material comprehensively covers ozone layer science, ozone depletion mechanisms, stratospheric chemistry, ultraviolet radiation absorption, and the role of chlorine and bromine radicals in ozone molecule destruction (up to 100,000 molecules per radical). It explains Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) with CFC-11 assigned a baseline factor of 1, the Global Warming Potential (GWP) relative to carbon dioxide, and the environmental impacts associated with CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs. The content thoroughly reviews refrigerant classifications including CFC-12 (R-12), HCFCs, HFC-134a (R-134a), R-152a, and CO₂ (R-744), along with their chemical properties, atmospheric stability, flammability characteristics, and environmental effects. It details phase-out timelines such as the January 1, 1996 discontinuation of CFC manufacturing and November 15, 1995 venting prohibition of CFC and HCFC substitutes. The document also explains the Montreal Protocol (September 1987), Clean Air Act of 1990 provisions, and EPA enforcement authority including fines up to $37,500 per day per violation and whistleblower awards up to $10,000. A major portion of the exam focuses on MVAC (Motor Vehicle Air Conditioning) servicing requirements under Section 609 certification, including refrigerant recovery procedures, required evacuation levels (4 inches of mercury before scrapping MVAC systems), cylinder evacuation standards (27 inches of mercury), refillable cylinder fill limits (80% capacity), moisture content limits (15 PPM for R-12, 50 PPM for R-134a), and AHRI Standard 700 purity specifications. It also covers DOT cylinder manufacturing standards, recovery tank color coding (white for R-12, light blue for R-134a, yellow shoulder recovery tanks), five-year cylinder retesting intervals, and restrictions on refrigerant sales under 20 pounds. The document addresses technician responsibilities including mandatory certification, record retention for three years, prohibition of refrigerant venting, leak repair regulations, recycling and reclamation requirements, safe handling precautions (frostbite, irritation, asphyxiation risk), pressure relief devices, and prohibition of refrigerant mixing in recovery cylinders. It also outlines the role of SAE standards in recovery and recycling machine specifications. This resource is highly relevant for HVAC Technology, Automotive Air Conditioning Service, Environmental Compliance Training, Refrigeration Systems, and EPA Section 609 Certification preparation courses. It is ideal for automotive service technicians, HVAC/R students, fleet maintenance professionals, environmental compliance trainees, and individuals preparing for EPA 609 certification exams. Keywords: EPA 609 certification exam, ozone depletion potential ODP, global warming potential GWP, Clean Air Act 1990, Montreal Protocol 1987, CFC phase out 1996, R 134a refrigerant properties, R 152a automotive refrigerant, MVAC evacuation requirements, refrigerant recovery procedures, AHRI standard 700 purity, refrigerant cylinder fill 80 percent, 27 inches mercury evacuation, 4 inches mercury scrap requirement, refrigerant moisture PPM limits, Section 609 certification, refrigerant venting prohibition 1995, DOT refrigerant cylinders, SAE recovery standards, EPA fines 37500 per day
