Why the other answers are wrong

• The name and certificate number of the technician who owns it — The label identifies the certification, not the owner.
• The refrigerants the owner has recovered with it — A log of recovered refrigerant is not part of the certification label.
• The date the machine was last serviced — Service dates are not required on the certification label.
