A refrigerant order needs an exact designation. Terms such as 'AC gas' or 'Freon' are not enough to establish the required refrigerant. Read the equipment documentation and ask the responsible technician to confirm the approved type before contacting a supplier.
Use the system specification
Record the unit model, refrigerant designation and the quantity requested by the qualified technician. Keep the source of that information, such as a nameplate photo or approved documentation, with the enquiry. If the system has been modified, do not rely on a handwritten label alone: the responsible professional should verify the current approved configuration.
Confirm packaging and documentation
Ask the branch to identify the supplied refrigerant and package quantity clearly and provide the applicable product documentation. Read the current safety data sheet for the selected product. Do not infer that different refrigerant designations can be mixed or exchanged. Handling, recovery and charging belong to trained professionals following the equipment instructions and applicable local requirements.
A practical enquiry example
Write the exact refrigerant designation on the order line even when it appears in an attached photo. A typed designation plus supporting documentation makes the requirement easier to check during both enquiry and receiving.

Is 'Freon' a complete purchasing specification?
No. Use the exact refrigerant designation approved for the equipment, with the required quantity and documentation.
