Final answer:
Rewiring an external electrical circuit does not require a person to be Section 608 certified, unlike the other activities which involve handling refrigerants and therefore require certification.
Step-by-step explanation:
When working with an appliance containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which of the following does NOT require a person to be a Section 608 certified technician? Of the options provided:
- Removing refrigerant: This task requires the technician to be Section 608 certified since it involves handling potentially harmful refrigerants.
- Rewiring an external electrical circuit: This does not require Section 608 certification. While it should be performed by a qualified electrician for safety reasons, it does not involve the refrigerant circuit directly.
- Replacing a component: If the replacement involves opening the refrigerant circuit, Section 608 certification is required.
- Performing any activity that violates the refrigerant circuit: Such an activity requires Section 608 certification to ensure proper handling and containment of refrigerants.
Therefore, rewiring an external electrical circuit is the task that does not necessitate a Section 608 certified technician, assuming that the activity does not involve violating the refrigerant circuit.
