What certification does a person need to dispose of a small appliance under 40 CFR 82.161?
- ANone, although the recovery requirements still apply to the work being carried out

Show answer and rationale
Correct: A. Section 82.161(a)(1)(vii) exempts disposal of small appliances, MVACs and MVAC-like appliances from certification. The recovery obligations in 82.156(b) are separate and still bind whoever does the work.
- B — Type I covers maintaining, servicing and repairing small appliances, not disposing of them.
- C — Universal is not required for any single disposal task, and disposal here is expressly exempt.
- D — Type II covers disposal of medium and higher pressure appliances, not small appliances.
