12.1.12 Indoor Floor Area Requirement
The refrigerant (R32), which is used in the air conditioner, is a flammable refrigerant. So the requirements for
installation space of appliance are determined according to the refrigerant charge amount [mc] used in the appliance.
Regarding the refrigerant charge amount [m
c] used in the appliance, refer to the installation instructions for the
outdoor unit.
If the total refrigerant charge in the system is <1.84 kg, no additional minimum floor area is required.
If the total refrigerant charge in the system is ≥ 1.84 kg, additional minimum floor area requirements is
complied as described below:

For intermediate A
room
values, the value that corresponds to the lower A
room
value from the table is considered.
Example:
For A
room
= 6.5 m

, the value that corresponds to “A
room
= 6 m
2
” is considered.
