What key information must be included in the refrigerant recovery record?

The key information that must be included in the refrigerant recovery record is the type and amount of refrigerant recovered. This is critical for several reasons.

First, documenting the type of refrigerant ensures compliance with environmental regulations, as different refrigerants may have varying impacts on ozone depletion and global warming potential. Properly identifying the refrigerant allows for its appropriate disposal and tracking within the recovery system.

Second, recording the amount of refrigerant recovered helps in managing refrigerant inventory and can indicate whether any leaks or significant losses may have occurred in the system being serviced. Accurate records protect technicians and companies from potential legal issues regarding refrigerant management and ensure they are abiding by the requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

This data contributes to better overall compliance with federal regulations and helps ensure a more environmentally responsible approach to refrigerant management. Other options, while potentially relevant in some contexts, do not encompass the required specifics for regulatory and safety purposes.
