After being phased out, where can technicians obtain refrigerant to service equipment that contains that refrigerant?

Explanation:
When a refrigerant has been phased out, you can’t obtain new supply of it for servicing. The only legal source is refrigerant that has been recovered from other systems or reclaimed to meet standards. Recovered refrigerant is the material removed during service and kept for potential reuse, while reclaimed refrigerant has been processed and tested to meet purity requirements (AHRI 700) before being returned to service. This approach minimizes emissions and ensures the material used in repairs is regulated and safe, rather than relying on unregulated sources or new production.
