"Chlorofluorocarbon  compounds"  shall  mean  one  or  more of the   following substances used alone or in combination with other  compounds:   CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, CFC-114, or CFC-115.2.  "Ozone"  means an allotropic, triatomic form of oxygen, chemically   described as O3.3.  "Halon  compounds"  shall  mean  one  or  more  of  the  following   substances: halon-1211, halon-1301 and halon-2402.4.  "Person"  shall  mean  any  person,  business  enterprise or state   authority, locality or municipality.5. "Motor vehicle" shall mean motor vehicle as defined by section  one   hundred  twenty-five  and  omnibus  as  defined  by  section one hundred   twenty-six of the vehicle and traffic law.6. "Motor vehicle air conditioner" means mechanical vapor  compression   refrigeration   equipment   used   to  cool  the  drivers  or  passenger   compartment of any motor vehicle.7. "Approved motor vehicle refrigerant  recapturing  equipment"  means   equipment  that  is  certified  by Underwriters Laboratories (or another   independent standards testing organization acceptable to the department)   to meet the Underwriters Laboratories standard applicable  to  equipment   for  the removal and storage of used CFC refrigerants from motor vehicle   air conditioners (Underwriters Laboratories standards 1963,  October  2,   1989)  unless  such  standard  is  modified  by the commissioner through   regulation. Equipment purchased before the date  of  such  certification   shall be considered approved if the manufacturer provides proof that the   model  is  functionally identical to a model which is certified pursuant   to this section.8. "Approved motor  vehicle  refrigerant  recycling  equipment"  means   equipment  that  is  certified  by Underwriters Laboratories (or another   independent standards testing organization acceptable to the department)   to meet the society  of  automotive  engineers  standard  applicable  to   equipment  for  the extraction and reclamation of refrigerant from motor   vehicle air conditioners (SAE standard J-1990,  October,  1989),  unless   such  standard  is  modified  by  the  commissioner  through regulation.   Equipment purchased before the  date  of  such  certification  shall  be   considered approved if the manufacturer provides proof that the model is   functionally  identical to the model which is certified pursuant to this   section.9. "Properly  using"  approved  motor  vehicle  refrigerant  recycling   equipment  means  using such equipment in conformity with the Society of   Automotive  Engineers  standard  establishing  the  recommended  service   procedure  for containment of CFC-12 refrigerant (SAE standard J-1989 or   revisions thereof).10. "Recycle"  means  to  decontaminate,  reclaim,  or  reprocess  CFC   refrigerants   captured   from   a  motor  vehicle  air  conditioner  or   refrigeration system for reuse, or to destroy such compounds by  methods   approved  by either the United States Environmental Protection Agency or   the commissioner.11. "Refrigeration  system"  shall  mean  and  shall  be  limited  to:   refrigerators   used   in   retail   stores,   cold   storage  warehouse   refrigeration systems, and air conditioning systems in large  buildings,   including  but  not  limited  to,  those systems commonly referred to as   chillers.
