Which organization has developed standards for the recovery and recycling of motor vehicles refrigerant?

The organization responsible for developing standards specifically for the recovery and recycling of motor vehicle refrigerants is the SAE, which stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers. SAE is recognized for its efforts in establishing technical standards that specifically relate to automotive engineering and the safe handling of refrigerants used in vehicle air conditioning systems.

This includes guidelines and practices aimed at minimizing environmental impact and ensuring the proper recovery of refrigerants during service and dismantling of vehicles. By following these standards, technicians can effectively manage refrigerants in a way that complies with legal requirements and protects the environment from harmful emissions.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) sets international standards across a wide range of industries, but it does not specifically focus on motor vehicle refrigerants like SAE does. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) enforces regulations pertaining to refrigerant management but does not develop technical engineering standards. The DOT (Department of Transportation) regulates transportation of materials and safety in transportation but is not focused on refrigerant recovery standards. Therefore, SAE is the correct organization associated directly with the standards in question.
