This document outlines the key requirements for equipment owners across the entire HVAC/R sector.  \nCompliance with evolving legislation can be demanding while also ensuring product quality and the safety of colleagues and customers, reducing operating expense and improving margins, while striving for 24/7/365 equipment uptime. That’s why we’ve summarized the EPA regulations in a handy checklist for you, so you can focus on your operation while we focus on helping you reduce your refrigerant emissions.  \nTheEPA Refrigerant Recycling & Emissions Reduction Program defines:  \n• Robust record keeping  \n• Leak rate calculations  \n• Equipment leak thresholds  \n• Leak repair time frames  \n• Leak inspection requirements  \n• Retrofit and retirement timescales  \n• Chronically leaking appliance reporting  \nNote: Effective April 10, 2020, appliances with 50 or more pounds of substitute refrigerants are no  \nlonger subject to the requirements at 40 CFR 82 .157, including:  \n• Repairing appliances that leak above a certain level and conducting verification tests on repairs  \n• Periodically inspecting for leaks  \n• Reporting chronically leaking appliances to the EPA  \n• Retrofitting or retiring appliances that are not repaired  \n• Maintaining related records  \nIn the US, the EPA National Recycling & Emissions Reduction Program sets the base level requirements to which all refrigerant users must comply. There are also an increasing number of state-specific regulations that require increased record keeping, reporting standards or swifter response times. If you are an enterprise operating across multiple states, different sites may need to comply with different legislation. There are also voluntary bodies and partnerships that provide best practices, resources, recognition and certification of sustainability in the refrigerant management domain.  \n[MSAsafety.com/](MSAsafety.com/Bacharach)[Bacharach](MSAsafety.com/Bacharach) 2  \nEPA Section 608 Update Refrigerant Compliance Checklist  \n01  02  \n􀀳 Robust record keeping  \nAppliance owners have robust record keeping requirements for appliances, servicing, refrigerant addition and repairs.  \nFor all appliances with 50 or more pounds of refrigerant, the following records are required:  \n• Identity and location of appliance within the site  \n• Owner/operator of the appliance  \n• Address of the site where the appliance is located  \n• Full charge of the appliance, how the full charge is calculated and any supporting records  \n• Any changes to the full charge value, date of change and method used  \nFor work carried out on any appliance with 50 or more pounds of Class I and Class II refrigerants, the following records are required:  \n• Records documenting date and type of service  \n• Invoice or other documentation stating the amount and type of refrigerant added to the appliance and the date it was applied  \n• Date, type and result of the initial and follow-up verification tests must be recorded  \nFor appliances with 5 or more pounds of refrigerant where refrigerant is being removed, the technician must keep the following records:  \n• The date of recovery  \n• The type and quantity of each refrigerant recovered  \n• The person to whom the refrigerant was transferred, and the date of transfer  \n• The fate of the refrigerant—reclamation or destruction  \nNote: All records must be kept for a minimum of 3 years.  \n􀀳 Leak rate caluclations  \nEvery time refrigerant is added to an appliance, a re-calculation of the leak rate must be carried out.
