CALIFORNIA REGULATORY INFO
Under new California guidelines signed into law in January 2009, any manufacturer or marketer of “small cans” of refrigerant must be certified by CARB in order to sell product in the state. The certification requirements include compliant containers with self-sealing valves, new consumer usage instructions, and an approved used can deposit & recycling program.
IDQ was the first manufacturer to receive certification from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to sell small containers of automotive refrigerant in California. Please click through the links below for additional information regarding the guidelines for both consumers and distributors.
