EPA 608 and Refrigerant Compliance Context

Every Texas ACR licensee working with refrigerants must also maintain valid EPA Section 608 certification. While our CE course covers the regulatory updates and compliance requirements for refrigerant handling, EPA 608 certification is a separate credential issued by the EPA. Our course's 3-hour refrigerant regulation module keeps you current on leak detection rules, recordkeeping, and the latest refrigerant phase-out schedules under AIM Act guidelines.
