With Section 608 you are CFC Certified, or some call it EPA or HVAC Certified. This is the official Certification. If all sections are passed, your license is "Universal". Our program through Ferris State University* is EPA Approved. Your License through us is valid in every state and Canada.
CFC Certification is REQUIRED by the Clean Air Act for anyone working on equipment containing refrigerant or to purchase Refrigerant .
- It is NOT sufficient to work "under supervision" of a licensed person. -
Employers must keep on file a copy of their employee's Certification if that employee works on any equipment containing refrigerant (including everything from water coolers to company vehicles).
If an employer does not have this certification on file, they are subject to fines as well as the employee who does not have such certification.
Any required Local, State or Industry licenses do not eliminate the requirement that you have CFC certification if you work on refrigerant containing equipment.
**R-410a is an Azeotropic mixture of refrigerants presently marketed under the brand names of Puron, SUVA 410a and Gentron AZ-20. R-410a involves significantly higher pressures and capacities than other refrigerants.
R410-a Certification is Voluntary (not Federally Mandated).
Those with Type II Certification are covered for purchase and use of R-410a.
