A2L REFRIGERANT SAFETY
⚠WARNING
Due to the mildly flammable nature of A2L refrigerants, it is important to ensure proper
technical training prior to recovering these refrigerants. Some jurisdictions may require special licensing or
certification before handling flammable refrigerants. Additional regulations or guidelines may be required by
your local, state, or federal agencies. Check your local occupational health and safety codes.
Proper precautions should be followed when handling or recovering A2L refrigerants.
These precautions include, but are not limited to the following:
• A temporary flammable zone should be created with a 3-meter perimeter around the work area.
• Place “No Smoking”, “Do Not Enter”, and any other appropriate warning signs in the area.
• A CO

or dry-powder type fire extinguisher should be available within the work area.
• Use a suitable flammable gas detector to monitor the air in the work area for refrigerant gas concentrations.
• Ensure adequate ventilation of the area.
• Service equipment should be connected to, and disconnected from a power source outside of the flammable
zone.
• Properly ground the recovery machine, tank, hoses, system, and other elements to prevent static buildup.
• Do not reset service equipment circuit breaker unless power has been removed from the equipment or the
area is free of ignitable concentrations.
• Disable and lock o the power to the system being serviced.
• Do not mix A2L refrigerants with air. All precautions must be taken to eliminate mixing of air with
flammable refrigerants, including monitoring the recovery cylinder for air content.
• When recovery is complete, purge the system with oxygen-free dry nitrogen (OFDN). Do not use compressed
air or oxygen.
