Jacques Champagne's ID #9837538
NATE stands for North American Technical Excellence, and it is the largest independent, non-profit organization in the United States dedicated to training and certifying technicians to work in the HVAC field. The organization is a coalition between the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that certifies technicians to work on heating, air conditioning, ventilation, and refrigeration equipment.
The organization has a nationwide committee of expert HVAC technicians and engineers that work together to develop the various NATE certification exams. The committee first identifies standards known as Knowledge Areas of Technician Expertise, which are key things that a technician must know to work on or install different types of HVAC equipment. They then take these key knowledge areas and use them to create certification exams that ensure a technician has the requisite knowledge and skills.
CERTIFICATION NO. P528C514E5EBE5E01
An EPA certification, or 608 certification, is official recognition by the EPA that a technician is knowledgeable about the laws and regulations surrounding the use and handling of ozone-depleting substances, or ODS, such as refrigerants. The Clean Air Act made certification a requirement to work in the maintenance, service, repair or disposal of equipment such as air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, since these commonly contain refrigerants R-22 and R-410A, which are ODS.
