This Handbook covers residential airconditioning systems and has been developed with the intention of reducing emissions of flurocarbon refrigerants into the atmosphere.

This Code is intended to cover airconditioning systems primarily designed for domestic use, and has been developed with the intention of reducing emissions into the atmosphere of refrigerants listed in Appendix 1, or any other fluorocarbon refrigerant.Commercial and industrial refrigeration, domestic refrigeration and motor vehicle airconditioning systems are the subject of separate Codes.Design and manufacture of residential air conditioners is not covered by this Code. Refer to Australian Standards AS 1861.1-1988 and AS 1861.2-1994.Environmental benefits and cost savings from reduced refrigerant losses and reduced servicing can be expected from the application of this Code, including the use of alternative refrigerants.
