Who Should Handle Refrigerant
Under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act, technicians who maintain, service or repair equipment that could release refrigerant into the air must hold EPA Section 608 certification; small appliances such as household refrigerators fall under the Type 1 category.

In Maryland, you can check a license with the Maryland Department of Labor occupational license search (Board of Plumbing) or report a problem to the Maryland Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
