Keywords: EPA: US Environmental Protection Agency SAE: Society of Automotive Engineers SAE International HFTC6: human factors technical committee CDPC: cabin disinfection practices committee ~~~ For more than 30 years, shops and technicians who service mobile A/C systems in the United States have been using EPA-certified RRR machines (recover, recycle and recharge equipment) to properly recover refrigerants from vehicle A/C systems, rather than release the refrigerant to the atmosphere. These machines are required to be used under the US Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and have played a major role in protecting the Ozone Layer. They have also helped to avoid countless emissions of HFCs and other CO2 and CO2-equivalent emissions from the mobile sector, by allowing shops to efficiently and effectively recover and recycle refrigerants (such as R-12, CFC-12, R-134a, HFC-134a and R-1234yf, HFO-1234yf) on-site at the shop level. ~~~~ Are you a member of MACS?
