Refrigerant Leak Inspection Report (>50 lb Systems)

A Refrigerant Leak Inspection Report documents periodic leak-rate testing on refrigeration and air conditioning appliances with a full charge of 50 pounds or more. Ozone-depleting (CFC/HCFC) refrigerant is governed by Clean Air Act Section 608 Subpart F; HFC/HFO refrigerant is governed by the EPA AIM Act’s Emissions Reduction & Reclamation rule (40 CFR Part 84 Subpart C) for appliances ≥15 lb, effective January 1, 2026. Both regimes apply the same leak-rate thresholds and repair obligations.

Clean Air Act Section 608 Subpart F (40 CFR Part 82) for ODS refrigerant; AIM Act Emissions Reduction & Reclamation rule (40 CFR Part 84 Subpart C) for HFC/HFO refrigerant ≥15 lb, effective January 1, 2026Valid: 12 months

Frequently asked questions about Refrigerant Leak Inspection

Do HFC refrigerants like R-410A need leak inspections now?
Yes, as of January 1, 2026. The EPA AIM Act Emissions Reduction & Reclamation rule (40 CFR Part 84 Subpart C) applies the same 10%/20%/30% leak-rate thresholds used under Clean Air Act Section 608 to HFC/HFO appliances with a charge of 15 lb or more — with exemptions for the residential & light-commercial A/C and heat pump subsector, and for refrigerants with a GWP of 53 or below.
What happens if the leak rate exceeds the threshold?
Owners/operators must identify and repair the leak within 30 days (120 days if an industrial process shutdown is required), then run initial and follow-up verification tests. An appliance that keeps leaking above the threshold after repair attempts needs a retrofit or retirement plan within 30 days.
