Which statement best describes the scope of EPA's 608 Type I certification?

EPA 608 Type I certification focuses on servicing small appliances and recovering refrigerant from those appliances. Small appliances are defined as containing 5 pounds of refrigerant or less, so this certification lets technicians service them and perform refrigerant recovery during service, disposal, or repair. Larger systems fall under Type II (or other types), and the certification isn't about restricting to non-ozone-depleting refrigerants. So the statement that it certifies technicians to service small appliances up to 5 pounds and to recover refrigerant best describes the scope.
