What is ARI 700?

ARI 700 defines the purity specifications for reclaimed refrigerants, ensuring they meet quality thresholds before being reused. It sets acceptable levels for moisture, acidity, non-condensables, and other impurities to prevent contamination that can cause corrosion, acid formation, or compressor damage. This focus on refrigerant quality and purity is what makes ARI 700 the correct reference. Standards about efficiency, labeling, or technician training cover different topics, not the purity standards for reclaimed refrigerants.
