Which statement about resale of refrigerant is correct?

• A. No, refrigerant cannot be resold
• B. Only if it is from the same manufacturer
• C. Yes, refrigerant can always be resold
• D. Yes, but only if it has been reclaimed to AHRI Standard 700 specifications

Answer: (D)

Resale of refrigerant is allowed only after it has been reclaimed to AHRI Standard 700 specifications. AHRI 700 defines the purity and composition limits for reclaimed refrigerants, including acceptable levels of moisture, acids, non-condensables, and other contaminants. When a refrigerant meets these standards, it can be sold and used in other systems, helping reduce waste while protecting performance and safety. If it hasn’t been reclaimed to that standard, it shouldn’t be resold. The idea that it can’t be resold at all is incorrect, and the notion that it can always be resold or must come from the same manufacturer doesn’t fit with the required quality criteria set by AHRI 700.
