Technicians with a Type I small appliance certification are certified to recover refrigerant during the maintenance, service or repair of:

Type I certification covers small appliances—equipment that normally contains 5 pounds of refrigerant or less. PTACs and window air conditioners are typical examples of these small appliances. When a PTAC has 5 pounds or less of refrigerant, a technician with Type I can recover refrigerant during maintenance or repair. If the unit contains more than 5 pounds, you’d need Type II (or universal) certification. Window units are usually within the small-appliance category, but the phrase “any amount” would imply units that could exceed 5 pounds, which Type I cannot cover. So the best match is PTACs that contain 5 pounds or less of refrigerant.
