The EPA credential required for any technician who services, maintains, or disposes of equipment containing regulated refrigerant. Issued in tiers (Type I for small appliances, Type II for high-pressure systems, Type III for low-pressure systems, and Universal covering all three). A shop can’t legally put an uncertified tech on a refrigerant-handling call, which makes 608 status one of the first things to verify before scheduling a new hire’s first solo dispatch.
