Which organization developed the standard for recovery and recycling machines for flammable refrigerants?

The organization that developed the standard for recovery and recycling machines specifically for flammable refrigerants is the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). SAE is recognized for creating standards that ensure safety and efficiency in the automotive industry, including the handling and management of refrigerants. The standard is crucial for ensuring that recovery and recycling machines can safely handle flammable refrigerants without posing a risk of fire or explosion, thereby promoting safe practices in the industry.

The other organizations mentioned play important roles as well: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes regulations and guidelines for refrigerant management, the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) is involved in establishing performance standards for heating and cooling equipment, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) focuses on workplace safety. However, for the specific standard in question regarding the recovery and recycling of flammable refrigerants, SAE is the organization that has created those standards.
