What is CFC certification?

CFC certification refers to a credential required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for individuals who handle refrigerants containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This certification ensures that technicians are trained to safely and legally recover, recycle, and dispose of refrigerants to prevent environmental harm. Obtaining a CFC certification typically involves passing a written exam that covers proper handling techniques, environmental regulations, and safety procedures. The certification is mandatory for anyone working with air conditioning or refrigeration systems that use regulated refrigerants in the United States.
