Looks like this is all they have. I spoke with Barry Lyons of BOC this morning. He said there is 

a woman, Jane Gartshore, of Cool Concerns who gives the class on hydrocarbon refrigerant. 

CARE sends their technicians to her for training on hydrocarbon refrigerants. I spoke to her and 

she told me she follows the attached guideline and uses slides about the Cool refrigerants and 

hands out the ACRIB_HC_Guide which is covered in the class. 

Steve Hammerling of ASHRAE said they do not have anything in place for Hydrocarbon 

Refrigerant since it is not legal in the U.S. Once legal, they will put guidelines in place.

Subject: refrigerant guidelines

Dear Barry:

My name is Richard Maruya and I have a hydrocarbon refrigerant for which I've applied to the 

U.S. EPA Alternative Refrigerant division for a clearance.

The EPA is asking for a training guideline on Hydrocarbon Refrigerant as well as a safety 

guideline which they do not have. I understand that CARE has one. Would you please send me 

a copy to submit to the EPA for a standard?

Thank you,

Richard Maruya
