Refillable tanks used to ship CFC and HCFC refrigerants or used to recover these refrigerants must meet the standards of what entity?

Athe United States Department of Transportation
Bthe Environmental Protection Agency
Cthe United States Coast Guard
Dthe Underwriters Laboratories
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) the United States Department of Transportation. Refillable tanks used to ship or recover CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) and HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon) refrigerants must meet the standards set by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). This is because these refrigerants are considered hazardous materials for transportation purposes, and the DOT regulates the packaging, labeling, and shipping requirements for hazardous materials. The other options are incorrect because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the phase-out and management of these refrigerants, the United States Coast Guard does not set standards for refrigerant shipping containers, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is a private organization that sets safety standards, not government regulations.
