Complying With The Section 608 Refrigerant Sales Restriction
Did you know that it is ILLEGAL
to sell or offer for sale any refrigerant that contributes to the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer (for example, R-12 or R-22 also referred to by the tradename FREON), unless the buyer is a certified technician and has a valid EPA certification card?
An assumption of certification by the seller is not sufficient. The seller must keep an invoice indicating the name of the purchaser, the date of sale, and the quantity of refrigerant purchased.
The purchaser is required to maintain their wallet-sized certification card as proof of certification.
