Question 1: What does the "608" in EPA 608 refer to?
A) The number of refrigerant types regulated by the EPA
B) The section of the Clean Air Act that regulates refrigerants
C) The number of hours required for certification
D) The model number of the EPA test device
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: EPA 608 refers to Section 608 of the Clean Air
Act, which sets the rules and certification requirements for
handling refrigerants that can harm the ozone layer. This
,Page 2 of 233
section specifically addresses refrigerant management,
recycling, and technician certification requirements.
Question 2: Which of the following refrigerants are NOT
covered under EPA 608 regulations?
A) CFCs
B) HCFCs
C) HFCs
D) All of the above are covered
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: EPA 608 covers CFCs and HCFCs because they
are ozone-depleting substances. HFCs do not deplete the
ozone layer, so they are not regulated under Section 608.
However, some HFCs may be regulated under other EPA
programs due to their high global warming potential (GWP).

Question 3: When is it legal to intentionally vent refrigerants
into the atmosphere?
A) When repairing an appliance
B) During installation of new equipment
C) It is never legal to intentionally vent refrigerants
D) When the refrigerant is a non-ozone-depleting substance
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Clean Air Act prohibits the intentional release
(venting) of refrigerants during servicing, maintenance, or
disposal, regardless of the type of refrigerant. This includes
CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, and their substitutes. Even "de minimis"
releases should be minimized using low-loss fittings.
Question 4: Which type of certification is required to purchase
and handle refrigerants under EPA regulations?
A) EPA 601 Technician Certification
B) EPA 608 Technician Certification

C) OSHA Safety Certification
D) EPA 609 Certification
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: EPA 608 Technician Certification is required to
purchase, handle, or work with regulated refrigerants. EPA
609 certification is specifically for motor vehicle air
conditioning (MVAC) systems. No person can legally buy
refrigerants without proper EPA 608 certification.
Question 5: What is the primary purpose of the Clean Air
Act's Section 608?
A) To reduce greenhouse gas emissions
B) To prevent the release of ozone-depleting refrigerants
C) To regulate refrigerant prices
D) To ensure HVAC technicians have proper insurance
