When reclaimed refrigerants are tested and found that they meet ARI 700 purification standards they may be reused in another owner's equipment.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only in the same building
• D. Only for non-ozone-depleting refrigerants

Answer: (A)

When reclaimed refrigerants are tested and meet ARI 700 purification standards, they can be reused in equipment owned by a different party. ARI 700 sets specific purity and quality criteria—like limits on moisture, acidity, and contaminants—so a reclaimed batch that passes these tests is considered safe and suitable for use in any compatible system, not just the original site. This certification enables recycling of refrigerants across owners and helps reduce waste, as long as proper labeling and documentation are kept to verify ARI 700 compliance.
