OSHA & EPA Regulations
Rely on industry experts to keep your business in regulatory compliance

Certifications Required For Refrigerants
The certification required to handle refrigerants for farm equipment A/C purposes is required by the federal EPA, not individual states. The regulatory framework is found under Section 609 of the Clean Air Act. That section requires technicians take a one-time test to obtain a lifetime certification. The EPA has a list of approved technician training and certification programs.
ESCO program has an online test anyone can take for $20. The OSUIT Technician Training program provides the certification as part of their training. For any OSHA or EPA inspection, you need to have each person handling refrigerant be certified and have certified equipment to handle it. Additionally, there are EPA record keeping requirements.
