>From the EPA website:
"...The following people can only buy refrigerant found suitable for use in
a motor vehicle air conditioner (for example, R-12, R-406A, R-414A, R-414B,
etc.), including "small cans" containing less than 20 pounds of R-12:
technicians certified to service motor vehicle air-conditioners
(MVACs) by a Section 609 EPA-certified testing organization ..."
>From what I understand in the law, although R12 is no longer produced it can
be reclaimed, cleaned, and reused by certified technicians. R22 has a
phase-out date of 2020 but I could not find any date for R12.
