Which statement about reclamation refrigerant is true?

Reclamation refrigerant must meet ARI 700 purity standards before it can be sold or reused in other systems. This standard sets acceptable limits for moisture, acidity, non-condensables, and other contaminants to protect equipment, prevent corrosion and reduced efficiency, and ensure the refrigerant performs reliably. That’s why it isn’t restricted to use only in the original system, nor is it correct to say there are no purity standards or that reclaimed refrigerant should be disposed; meeting ARI 700 makes it suitable for reuse or sale, while failures to meet the standard require disposal.
