As of September 2024, our Calvert City, Ky. lab is AHRI 700 certified.
The US EPA has recognized that in order to be able to maintain the quality of the refrigerants used today in the marketplace, either manufactured domestically or imported, it is necessary to rely on verifiable, traceable, and accurate quality laboratory data. Therefore, to comply with the AIM Act, the EPA is requiring that all refrigerants sold in the US be tested by a laboratory facility certified by either ISO, AHRI or OSHA to be compliant.
Arkema Inc. has selected the Refrigerant Testing Laboratory Certification (RTL) Program offered by AHRI. AHRIs RTL certification program has just completed the audit of Arkema’s Calvert City facility and passed. As of September 2024, we have the AHRI 700 lab certification.
The significance of this is not only that our test data complies with the law, but also that our testing meets the highest standards of quality.
Regardless of your commercial refrigerant source, make sure it is tested by a certified facility in order to comply with the EPA regulations.
