The key idea is that certification categories determine which refrigerant recovery tasks a technician is allowed to perform. For small appliances, the required credential is Type I, or Universal certification which includes Type I. Small appliances contain only a small amount of refrigerant, so Type I covers those recovery activities. Universal certification, by including all categories, also authorizes recovery from small appliances. The other designations correspond to handling different categories of equipment and aren’t the correct requirement for small-appliance work. So the correct concept is that small-appliance recovery requires Type I or Universal.
