ARI 700 is the standard for what?

ARI 700 defines the purity and quality requirements for reclaimed refrigerants. It sets the limits on impurities—such as moisture, acidity, noncondensable gases, particulates, and hydrocarbons—and specifies testing methods and labeling to ensure reclaimed refrigerants are safe and effective to reuse in cooling systems. This standard ensures consistency so that recovered refrigerants don’t harm equipment or performance. It’s not about energy efficiency ratings, cylinder labeling in general, or refrigerant charge testing, which are covered by other standards and regulations.
