The question

A contractor adds 12 pounds of R-22 to a customer's 150-pound chiller. What does 40 CFR 82.157 require the contractor to give the owner?

• AA copy of the technician's Section 608 certification wallet card
• BA new nameplate showing the charge
• CA signed retrofit plan
• DA record including the amount and type of refrigerant addedCorrect answer

Why “A record including the amount and type of refrigerant added” is correct

Anyone adding or removing refrigerant must give the owner documentation at the end of the service. It includes the appliance identity, date, parts serviced, type of service, technician name, and the amount and type of refrigerant added.

Source: 40 CFR 82.157(b); 40 CFR 82.157(l)(2)

Why the other answers are wrong

• A copy of the technician's Section 608 certification wallet card — The certification card is not part of the required service record.
• A new nameplate showing the charge — Nothing in the rule requires a new nameplate.
• A signed retrofit plan — A retrofit plan is the owner's document and only applies in certain cases.
