Technicians who service motor vehicle air conditioners must be certified under Section 609 of the Federal Clean Air Act. Servicing motor vehicle air conditioning includes repairing, leak testing, and topping off air conditioning systems low on refrigerant as well as any other repairs to the vehicle which requires the dismantling of any part of the air conditioning system.
The EPA Section 609 Certification Exam is required to service motor vehicle air conditioning systems, and to purchase small containers (under 20lbs) of regulated refrigerants.
