When servicing equipment containing regulated refrigerants, you should use what kind of recovery devices?

When servicing equipment containing regulated refrigerants, you must use recovery equipment that is certified by the EPA and current on its approval list. These devices are specifically designed to remove refrigerant from a system and safely store it, reducing emissions and ensuring compliance with environmental rules. Using any device or a vacuum pump alone doesn’t guarantee proper, compliant recovery and can lead to venting of refrigerant, which is not allowed. So the approved standard is to use current EPA-approved recovery devices.
