About EPA 608 Certification
The Federal Government of the United States requires all individuals who open a system or container holding a controlled refrigerant to be certified. Persons who work on stationary equipment or use refrigerant designed for these systems can become certified by passing a proctored Section 608 examination. Candidates for this test can be certified in any of three equipment categories plus Universal.
• CORE - To pass any EPA type, a candidate must pass the CORE section of the test plus one of the technician types listed below. Once CORE is passed it need not be taken again and it may be used or additional EPA types.
• Type I - A Type I technician primarily works on small appliances such as domestic refrigerators, window air conditioners, PTAC's and vending machines.
• Type II – A Type II technician primarily works on equipment using high-pressure refrigerant such as HCFC-22. The equipment includes residential air conditioners and heat pumps, supermarket refrigeration and process refrigeration.
• Type III - A Type III technician primarily works on equipment using a low-pressure refrigerant such as HCFC-123 or CFC-11. The units are primarily chillers.
• Universal - Any candidate passing all three of these EPA types Type I, Type II or Type III is certified as UNIVERSAL.
