Which statement about recovery equipment certification is true?

Recovery equipment must be certified by an EPA-approved testing laboratory to ensure it meets the performance standards set by the EPA for refrigerant recovery. This independent testing confirms the device can effectively remove refrigerant and operate within required limits, helping to minimize emissions during servicing. Certification is not something the local utility handles, nor is it completed solely by the appliance manufacturer; the actual certification comes from an EPA-approved lab after testing, and the device carries a certification label. There is no exemption from certification for recovery equipment.
