Safety Standard for Air-conditioning and Heat Pump Systems in Residential Applications
1. PURPOSE:
This standard specifies safe design, installation, operation and maintenance of air-conditioning systems in residential applications.
2. SCOPE:
This standard establishes safeguards for life, limb, health and property and prescribes safety requirements.
This standard applies to the design, installation, operation and maintenance of mechanical air-conditioning and heat pump systems installed in stationary applications that include:
- one and two-family dwellings (single family detached, duplexes and townhomes), or
- multi-family structures with individual dwelling units, where each dwelling unit has its own heating and air-conditioning system, or
- outbuildings and pool houses located on the same private property as a one and two family dwelling
