Procedures for determining Refrigerant Charge using the Standard Charge Measurement Procedure are available in
Reference Residential Appendix RA3.2. As many as 4 systems in the dwelling can be documented for compliance using
this form. Attach an additional form(s) for any additional systems in the dwelling as applicable.
• The system should be installed and charged in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications before starting this
procedure.
• The system must meet minimum airflow requirements as prerequisite for a valid refrigerant charge test.
• If outdoor air dry-bulb temperature is less than 55°F, the installer must use the RA3.2.3 Alternate Charge Measurement
Procedure (Weigh -In Charging Method). If the Weigh -In Method is used, the dwelling cannot be included in a sample
group for HERS verification compliance.)

Standard Charge Measurement Procedure (for use if outdoor air dry-bulb temperature is 55°F or
above)
Procedures for determining Refrigerant Charge using the Standard Charge Measurement Procedure are available in
Reference Residential Appendix RA3.2. As many as 4 systems in the dwelling can be documented for compliance using
this form. Attach an additional form(s) for any additional systems in the dwelling as applicable.
• The system should be installed and charged in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications before starting this
procedure.
• The system must meet minimum airflow requirements as prerequisite for a valid refrigerant charge test.
• If outdoor air dry-bulb temperature is less than 55°F, the installer must use the RA3.2.3 Alternate Charge Measurement
Procedure (Weigh -In Charging Method). If the Weigh -In Method is used, the dwelling cannot be included in a sample
group for HERS verification compliance.)

one of the airflow measurementprocedures specified in Reference Residential Appendix RA3.3. If actual
cooling coil airflow is measured, the value must be equal to or greater than the Calculated Minimum Airflow
