Technicians can make their own EPA approved refrigerant blends.

Technicians can make their own EPA approved refrigerant blends.

• A. True
• B. Only with approval
• C. False
• D. If certified

Answer: (C)

The idea is not that technicians can create their own EPA-approved refrigerant blends. In practice, refrigerant blends are manufactured and tested under strict EPA approvals. Only licensed manufacturers/formulators can create, test, and label these blends to meet specific purity and performance standards. On the job, technicians are limited to using refrigerants that are commercially produced and EPA-approved, and they must follow established service practices. Creating new blends on site would bypass those approvals, raise safety and performance concerns, and is not permitted. So the statement is false.
