EPA Certification 608 Core Practice Test
| Latest Version | 2024/2025 | Already
Passed
What is the primary goal of the EPA 608 Core Certification in relation to refrigerant handling?
✔✔ The primary goal is to ensure technicians have the knowledge and skills required to handle
refrigerants safely, including recovery, recycling, and compliance with environmental
regulations.
How do regulations under the EPA 608 Core Certification impact the use of refrigerants in new
HVAC systems?
✔✔ Regulations ensure that new HVAC systems are designed and operated in a way that
minimizes refrigerant leaks and environmental impact, requiring technicians to adhere to proper
handling and recovery practices.
What are the key procedures for safely recovering refrigerants from a system during
maintenance?
1
, ✔✔ Key procedures include using certified recovery equipment, properly capturing refrigerant
into approved containers, ensuring the system is depressurized, and following guidelines to
prevent accidental release.
Why is it important for technicians to be aware of the ozone depletion potential (ODP) of
refrigerants?
✔✔ Being aware of ODP helps technicians understand the environmental impact of refrigerants
and adopt practices that reduce the release of ozone-depleting substances, supporting efforts to
protect the ozone layer.
What steps should a technician take if they encounter a refrigerant leak in a system?
✔✔ The technician should immediately stop the system, use leak detection tools to locate the
source, repair the leak, recover the leaked refrigerant using approved equipment, and document
the incident according to regulations.
How does the EPA 608 Core Certification address the management of refrigerants used in
commercial refrigeration systems?
