After a refrigerant is phased out, can equipment still contain refrigerant?

Explanation:
Phase-out stops production and import of certain refrigerants, not the refrigerant already inside installed equipment. So equipment can still contain refrigerant long after the phase-out, until it’s recovered during service or disposal. Technicians must recover the refrigerant and either recycle or reclaim it rather than venting. This is why the correct answer is Yes.
