A leak test must be done after the installation is completed.
It is a must to perform the safety inspection before maintaining or repairing an air conditioner using flammable refrigerant in order to ensure that the fire risk is reduced to a minimum.
Requirements for the total weight of filled refrigerant and the area of a room to be equipped with an air conditioner (are shown as in the following Tables GG.1 and GG.2)

The maximum charge and the required minimum floor area
m1 = (4 m3) x LFL , m2 = (26 m3)) x LFL, m3 = (130 m3 )x LFL
Where LFL is the lower flammable limit in kg/ m3,R290 LFL is 0.038 kg/ m3,R32 LFL is 0.038 kg/ m3.

For the appliances with a charge amount m1 < M = m2:
The maximum charge in a room shall be in accordance with the following :mmax= 2.5 x (LFL)(5/4) x h0 x (A)1/2
The required minimum floor area Amin to install an appliance with refrigerant charge M (kg) shall be in accordance with following: Amin = (M/ (2.5 x (LFL)(5/4) x h0)) 2
Where: mmax is the allowable maximum charge in a room, in kg;
M is the refrigerant charge amount in appliance, in kg;
Amin is the required minimum room area, in m2;
A is the room area, in m2;
LFL is the lower flammable limit, in kg/m3;
h0 is the installation height of the appliance, in meters for calculating mmax or Amin, 1.8 m for wall mounted;
