Abstract:
To facilitate compliance with, and enforcement of, Section 608 requirements, EPA requires owners and operators of refrigeration and air conditioning appliances with a full charge greater than 50 pounds, as well as service technicians for the affected appliances, to maintain certain records (codified in 40 CFR ?82.156) concerning appliance repairs, retrofits, and retirements. The affected appliances are used for commercial refrigeration, industrial process refrigeration, and comfort cooling. The required recordkeeping is done on an occasional basis, depending on the identification of leaks and the number of steps it takes to complete leak repairs when complying with the requirements outlined in ?82.156.
