BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — A-Gas announced that its PENGUIN Certified Reclaimed Refrigerants fully comply with California Assembly Bill (AB) 663, ensuring contractors and distributors can meet new state regulatory standards without disruption.
AB 663, signed into law on Oct. 1, clarifies and strengthens the state’s previous refrigerant legislation, Senate Bill (SB) 1206. The law establishes specific requirements for certified reclaimed refrigerants, which are exempt from hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) global warming potential restrictions if they meet strict quality and documentation standards.
Under AB 663, certified reclaimed refrigerants must contain at least 85 percent reclaimed material by weight, achieve a minimum purity of 99.5 percent, be AHRI 700 certified, and be processed by an EPA-Certified Reclaimer. The legislation also removes ambiguity regarding existing inventories, declaring that any stockpiled refrigerants not meeting these requirements are now non-compliant, regardless of when they were purchased. Violations can result in significant civil and criminal penalties.
To support industry compliance, A-Gas provides a Certificate of Analysis with every PENGUIN Certified Reclaimed Refrigerant cylinder, ensuring full transparency and traceability. Each cylinder is clearly labeled to help contractors and distributors verify that their products meet regulatory and environmental standards.
According to A-Gas, its PENGUIN Certified Reclaimed Refrigerants enable HVACR professionals to fulfill both environmental and compliance obligations with confidence. By maintaining high-purity reclamation standards and providing detailed documentation, A-Gas helps contractors operate efficiently under California’s evolving refrigerant regulations.
