Which information is typically found on a refrigerant cylinder label?

• A. The refrigerant identity, purity, applicable standards or approvals, and other handling instructions.
• B. The price of refrigerant per pound.
• C. The owner's phone number.
• D. The color of the cylinder paint.

Answer: (A)

Labels on refrigerant cylinders exist to identify exactly what refrigerant is inside and how it should be stored and used safely. The refrigerant identity tells you the chemical name so you know what you’re dealing with and avoid mixing different substances. Purity information ensures the gas meets quality standards and won’t contain contaminants that could affect performance or safety. Standards or approvals on the label show the cylinder and refrigerant meet recognized safety and regulatory requirements, which helps ensure reliability and compliance. Handling instructions provide essential safety guidance about proper handling, storage, and any precautions, helping technicians work safely and prevent releases or hazards.

Prices, owner contact information, or the color of the cylinder are not part of the information the label is meant to convey for safe handling and regulatory compliance.
