In brief 3.5m2 is in a guidance note only - it is not the standard. The standard states " People have sufficient covered living space providing thermal comfort, fresh air and protection from the climate ensuring their privacy, safety and health and enabling essential household and livelihood activities to be undertaken". In general standards are defined locally. UNHCR handbook (2007) gives different figures with different indicators for cold climates.
Good references for this in more detail is section A.2 of this document (which refers to the old edition of sphere): https://josephashmore.org/publications/100421_Haiti_Shelter_TechnicalGuidance_REVISED.pdf
Sphere Handbook (2011 edition) shelter chapter itself (p258) https://sheltercasestudies.org/files/Sphere-2011.pdf
and this document https://sheltercasestudies.org/shelterprojects2011-2012/B01-3point5.pdf
Hope this helps and happy to chat about it at any time..
