R-410A Certification
In accordance with the terms of the Montreal Protocol, the United States and other developed nations are obligated to achieve a certain percentage of progress toward the total phase out of hydrocholorofluorocarbon refrigerants by certain dates. Currently, production and import for new equipment that uses HCFC R-22 is scheduled for phase out January 1, 2010. In preparation of these phase outs, manufacturers are beginning to offer equipment utilizing hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants, such as R-410A, that do not contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer.
Because many HFC refrigerants, such as R-410A, operate at considerably higher pressures than many other refrigerants, safety is imperative. R-410A systems will require service professionals to use different tools and equipment when installing, retrofitting, or repairing these systems.
Currently HFC refrigerants, including R-410A, are not covered under the refrigerant sales restriction of the Clean Air Act Amendments, and, at this time the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not require or mandate a separate certification for the handling of these refrigerants. Nevertheless, many equipment manufacturers are well aware of the concerns and safety issues of working with HFC refrigerants and are requiring service professionals who purchase their R-410A systems to be certified through each of their own independent programs and/or show proof of attending their training seminar.
In the interest of providing safety training to the industry, Licensed Trades of America has developed a Universal R-410A Safety and Training program. the program is available on line and can be viewed using a standard web browser. The test is also administered on line and can be viewed and taked using a standard web browser.
