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

handling refrigerants that can harm the ozone layer. This
,Page 3 of 234
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
