The sale of refrigerant is restricted to which group?

Refrigerants are restricted to people who are EPA-certified in refrigerant handling and recovery. This certification verifies that a technician knows how to properly recover, reclaim, and manage refrigerants so they aren’t released into the atmosphere. Releasing refrigerants or handling them without proper training can harm the ozone layer and violate the law, so only those with the EPA certification are allowed to purchase them. General public and uncertified technicians don’t have this credential, so they aren’t eligible. OEMs are manufacturers and aren’t the group defined by this service-related restriction.
