In some states, various occupational trade-licences are required for building, plumbing, electrical and specific types of refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) work. These licences cover safety and consumer protection.

The states do not have a substitute for an ARC licence.
The ARC licence is an environmental-based licence and the only national licence for the refrigeration and air conditioning trade. It is qualifications based. Licence applications are not, and have not, been approved based on experience alone. This is important, as it confirms only appropriately qualified people can receive a licence, ensuring the professionalism for the industry.
