Legal
Disclaimers
Five things this product is not, stated once each, in the plainest wording we can manage.
Last updated Updated August 18, 2026
1. EPA non-affiliation
Superheat is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It does not certify anyone. It is exam practice material.
Superheat is not an approved technician certification program. It does not administer the Section 608 certification test, does not score it, and cannot issue a certification. Under 40 CFR § 82.161 certification comes from a program approved by the Administrator, after that program administers its own test.
The name of the exam appears in our description of the product because that is what the material prepares you for. That is nominative use and it is the only permitted kind. We do not use the EPA name, seal, insignia or any government emblem as a mark, a logo, an endorsement or a badge, in the app, on this site, in an app-store listing, in advertising, or on a completion record.
Superheat does not describe itself, in any material, as sanctioned, endorsed, approved or authorised by the EPA or by any other government agency, and does not claim that any agency certified it or anything in it. The build enforces that against a list of exact phrases.
2. Copyright
The regulation is public domain. 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F is a work of the United States Government and is not subject to copyright protection in the United States under 17 U.S.C. § 105. That is what allows the product to quote whole paragraphs on a question card, and it is why every regulatory question is drafted from that text.
Regulatory text is reproduced from the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations published by the Office of the Federal Register and the Government Publishing Office. The eCFR is an editorial compilation and is not itself the legally authoritative edition of the CFR; where a legal question turns on the exact text, consult the annual printed edition and the Federal Register.
Everything else is ours. The questions, distractors, explanations, taxonomy, software, design and this website are © the publisher of Superheat and are licensed to you under the terms of use, not assigned.
Nothing is taken from anybody else’s bank. No question is copied, adapted or paraphrased from a certifying organization, a trade association, a training provider or a competitor. Each item records the paragraph it was drafted from and when. How that record works.
If you believe material here infringes your copyright, write to support@superheatprep.com identifying the work and the material, and we will investigate.
3. Trademarks
Superheat is the mark of this product. All other names are the property of their owners and are used here descriptively, to say what something is, and never to imply a relationship.
That includes the names of certifying organizations where they appear in support material, and the names Apple, App Store, Google, Google Play, Stripe, Supabase, PostHog, Sentry and RevenueCat where those companies are named as suppliers or processors. None of them endorses Superheat.
“EPA” and “U.S. Environmental Protection Agency” refer to the federal agency and are used only to identify the exam and the regulation this material concerns.
4. Educational use only
Superheat is study material. It is not legal advice, not engineering advice, and not a compliance tool. Do not use a question, an explanation or a quoted paragraph to decide whether a particular job, appliance or procedure complies with the regulation. Read the regulation, and consult someone qualified.
The quoted paragraph on a card is an extract. Requirements in Subpart F frequently depend on exceptions and definitions elsewhere in the subpart, and a card cannot carry all of them. Every citation links to the full paragraph on ecfr.gov for that reason.
5. Exam results and readiness
A readiness figure is an estimate calculated from your practice answers in this app. It is not a score, not a prediction, and not connected to any certification test. Superheat does not administer or score the EPA Section 608 certification exam.
The 70 percent marker in the app is the pass standard set by the regulation, shown as a reference line. It is the certifying program’s standard, applied by that program to its own test, not a threshold this app applies to anything.
The passing score for the closed-book Type I, Type II, Type III and Universal certification test is 70 percent. The passing score for Type I certification tests using the mail-in format is 84 percent.
A completion record produced for a training program records practice completed in the app. It is not a certification, not a licence, and confers no authority to handle refrigerant. It says so on its face, in body text, immediately under the title.
We make no claim that using Superheat will result in passing any examination, and we publish no pass-rate figure because we do not have one that could be honestly measured.
6. Currency of the regulation
Every question is checked against a dated snapshot of the eCFR, and that date is printed on the card. Regulations change, and there is a lag between a change being published and our next content release. Where this product and the current regulation disagree, the regulation is right.
The snapshot in use across this site is August 13, 2026. If you are relying on a figure for work rather than for study, check it against the current text at ecfr.gov — the citation on every card links straight to the paragraph.
