In an effort to reduce the amount of refrigerants that are released into the atmosphere, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has amended its National Recycling and Emission Reduction Program, more commonly known as Section 608. The purpose of this amendment is to reduce the release of greenhouse gases by tightening the allowable leak thresholds, requiring more accountability on the part of contractors and technicians and increasing the frequency of system inspections by certified EPA technicians.
