The ESCO Institute Section 608 EPA Preparatory Manual covers all questions contained on the EPA exam. The book is clear, concise and has been used by hundreds of thousands of students and technicians alike to successfully prepare for the EPA Universal technician exam.

Excerpt from the Introduction
This manual is intended to prepare technicians for the certification test, and contains all the information a technician will require to successfully complete the test. This booklet is not intended to be a formal refrigeration training course. Technicians should be familiar with the basic vapor - compression refrigeration cycle and common service equipment and procedures.

This manual has been assembled with the most current information available at the time of this edition. Should EPA regulations change after a technician becomes certified, it is the responsibility of the technician to comply with any future changes. The EPA also reserves the right to modify the test questions and or call for a new certification based on advancements in future technology. The ESCO Institute will update this manual as necessary to keep current with EPA rulings.

Section 608 of the Federal Clean Air Act requires that all persons who maintain, service, repair, or dispose of appliances that contain regulated refrigerants, be certified in proper refrigerant handling techniques as of November 14, 1994.
