What are the standards that govern refrigeration and air conditioning appliances?
Ozone depleting substances used in refrigeration and air conditioning appliances include chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons, collectively referred to here as CFCs. This group of chemicals has been demonstrated to be harmful to the stratospheric ozone layer and is subject to EPA regulations. As a result of the Clean Air Act requirements, the EPA has established a national recycling program for these substances when recovered during the servicing and disposal of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. For more information regarding key requirements, please refer to Ozone Depleting Substances Management Program.
