Under the leak repair rules, the leak rate thresholds apply to appliances that normally contain how much refrigerant?
a.Any amount, regardless of charge
b.5 pounds or more
c.50 pounds or more
d.200 pounds or more
Explanation
The leak repair provisions apply to appliances that normally contain 50 or more pounds of refrigerant, such as commercial and industrial systems. Small appliances with 5 pounds or less are not subject to the leak rate thresholds, and 200 pounds is not the trigger. This is why leak inspections and repair recordkeeping focus on larger commercial equipment.
