Dominic from ARI called me this afternoon Hawaii time to give me the links 
of the ARI tech schooling links.  He informed me that once a month, ARI 
people sit down with the EPA and go over new guidelines for training of 
technicians. I asked for any type of training methods for Hydrocarbon 
Refrigerants. All he told me was to look for ARI 700, 700c, and 740
from there most of the tech manuals are written. But, 700 on the recovery 
does not have any guidelines on hydrocarbon recovery. I did inform him of 
a possible new refrigerant HCR188C. All he said was when it passes, they 
will get something together.
He also sent me to NATE but told me no one has any training manuals on 
Hydrocarbon Refrigerant at this time.
All I asked was when HCR188C passes what will these organizations do in 
training.
He told me they will put something together.
 
I thanked for his assistance and informed him that we were writing some 
guidelines with the help of the EPA,. All he said was the industry will 
look at it and put in their own guidelines in the future after my 
clearance.
