Tests will consist of prescribed numbers of questions drawn from the EPA’s test bank. After the technician completes the test, RSES-approved proctors will send the tests to RSES’ headquarters where the tests are graded. RSES reports the test results to the technician and issues a wallet-sized identification card to each technicians who receives a passing score of 70% or higher on the exam. Records if certified technicians and test results will be maintained at RSES’ headquarter.  \nPursuant to 40 CFR 82.161(c) Subpart F, the EPA hereby approves RSES’ technician certification program effective 15 days after the date of this approval letter. This approval is limited to technician certification for proper refrigerant recovery and recycling, and meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 82 Subpart F and Appendix D to Subpart F. The reasons for EPA’s approval are described herein, as well as in the attached Background Document.  \nIndividuals certified by RSES’ program will be considered properly certified in accordance with the requirements promulgated under Section 608 of the Act, provided they are tested in the manner specified in the attached Background Document.  \nIf at any time an approved program is conducted in a manner not consistent with the representations made in the application for approval of the program under Section 608, the Administrator reserves the right to revoke approval. The Administrator also reserves the right to specify the need for technician recertification at some future date, if necessary.  \nIn order to remain an EPA-approved certification program, RSES must submit an activity report in accordance with the requirements detailed in 40 CFR 82 Appendix D to Subpart F. Programs may need to revise certification procedures should there be any revisions to EPA’s requirements promulgated under 608 of the Act. Testing material may need to be updated within 30 days of the publication of such revisions in Federal Register. EPA may periodically update the test bank. After such updates occur, programs must create randomly-selected tests.  \nRSES should provide the EPA with a written report detailing any technical revisions to the program. This report will accompany the first subsequent activity report that RSES submits to EPA. In addition, RSES should inform EPA promptly of any changes to its program administration such as changes of address.  \nEPA will maintain a list of approved technician training and certification programs for the benefit of the public. The following information about the RSES program will be included on this list:  \nRefrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES)  \n1666 Rand Road  \nDes Plaines, IL 60016-3552  \n(708) 297-6464  \nFee: $25.00  \nTraining available  \nThis approval does not address the status of technicians that participated in RSES’voluntary training and certification program. Issues concerning previously technicians will be addressed at a future date.  \nIf you have any questions, please contact Cindy Newberg of the Stratospheric Protection Division at (202) 233-9279  \nSincerely.  \nStephen Seidel, Acting Director Stratospheric Protection Division  \nEnclosures  \nUpdated 04/2025  \n___________________________________________________________________________________________________","cbCairRaQYpDkUCR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairRaQYpDkUCR","pdf",604366,11,"English","# Proctor Eligibility\n## Proctored Exams Offered\n## Proctor Responsibilities and Procedures\n## Violation System\n## Accommodations for Test Candidates\n## (EPA Section 608 Certification) Mandatory Testing Information Form\n## Combining Test Results/Re-testers (EPA Section 608 Certification)\n## Proctor Reports\n## Test Candidate Results (EPA 608 only)\n## Public Directory (EPA 608)\n## Use of Social Security Number (EPA 608)\n## Conducting Paper Exams\n## Submitting Paper Exams for Grading","[{\"question\":\"What exam format and question source does the certification program require?\",\"answer\":\"The program uses closed-book, proctored exams.
