MACS recently received approval from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to release an updated version of the Section 609 certification program for recovery and recycling of refrigerant.  

MACS president and chief operating officer, Elvis L. Hoffpauir, explains, “The new MACS certification program reflects major advances in refrigerant recovery and recharging technology, and emphasizes best practices and equipment maintenance to promote effective, efficient service and minimize refrigerant emissions.”

The new MACS Section 609 study guide and test will first be phased in on the Web version of the MACS Section 609 test available at www.macsw.org with a debut to proctor/trainers and home study customers later in 2008.

In addition, during the fall of 2008, MACS says it will make a MACS Section 609 test prep class available through Webinar sessions. Technicians who wish to, may purchase a Section 609 test prep class online at the MACS Web site.
