Regulatory Responsibilities
Regardless of whether the product is marketed directly by BHCR or through Eco Gas International, all refrigerant sales in the United States are governed by federal law.
Clean Air Act Section 612
42 U.S.C. § 7671k "It shall be unlawful for any person, in the course of introducing into interstate commerce a new substitute... to replace an ozone-depleting substance..."
Any corporate entity distributing Class A3 hydrocarbons into the US market as drop-in replacements faces enforcement penalties under the Clean Air Act. Regulatory compliance is required at the point of sale and distribution, regardless of which entity holds the trademark.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Eco Gas International have independent testing facilities?
We found no public evidence that Eco Gas International maintains independent testing operations. (methodology) Testing claims are heavily reliant on documentation provided by BHCR and third parties such as the University of Panama (2011) and Core Laboratories, the latter being a petroleum evaluation lab rather than an HVAC/refrigerant certifier.
Why are there multiple corporate names?
Separating trademark-holding entities from offshore operational hubs is a recognized corporate structure. For consumers and HVAC professionals, it makes tracing liability and verifying safety claims more difficult. All entities marketing Eco Kold are subject to the same EPA SNAP standards regardless of how the structure is arranged.
How can I verify the ECO KOLD trademark status?
The trademark record can be searched via the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database using Serial No. 97331319. A copy of this application file is also available in our Evidence Library.
