Overview

The documents EN 16282-1 to -8 have been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 156 "Ventilation for buildings", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (Great Britain). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 040-05-02-04 AK "Einrichtung zum Be- und Entlüften gewerblicher Küchen" ("Components for ventilation in commercial kitchens") at Standards Committee Heating and Cooking Equipment (FNH) at DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. (German Institute for Standardization). This series of standards contains safety-related specifications for the various commercial kitchen ventilation systems. The general requirements, such as ergonomic aspects with regard to kitchen ventilation (temperature, air properties, humidity, noise and so on), including the calculation of the air flow and testing, are specified. Part 1 sets out general requirements for the construction and calculation principles for the dimensioning and design of ventilation systems in commercial kitchens. Parts 2 to 8 contain the requirements for the various kitchen ventilation options and their construction and operation, including the safety, ergonomic and hygienic features and their testing. The parts refer to kitchen ventilation hoods, kitchen ventilation ceilings, air diffusers, air ducts, separators, installation and operation of stationary fire extinguishing systems, systems for aerosol treatment, collection and discharge behavior. This series of standards is based on VDI 2052 and the DIN 18869 series. This standard does not apply to domestic kitchens.
