DIN Standards Committee Heating and Ventilation Technology and their Safety

Overview

The European Standard series EN 13141 deals with the performance testing of components or products for residential ventilation within ventilation for buildings. Part 4 of this European Standard series specifies aerodynamic, acoustic and electrical power performance test methods for fans used in residential ventilation. These methods primarily concern ventilation fans installed on a wall or in a window without any duct, those installed in the downstream, in or upstream of a duct or encased ventilation fans having several inlets. For acoustic performance testing one of three given methods shall be used. These are either the in-duct method, the reverberant room method or the free-field method, or semi-reverberant room method. This document (FprEN 13141-4:2011) has been prepared by Working Group WG 2 "Natural and mechanical powered residential ventilation" (secretariat: AFNOR, France) at Technical Committee CEN/TC 156 "Ventilation for buildings" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 041-02-51 AA "Lüftung von Wohnungen (SpA CEN/TC 156 und CEN/TC 113/156 JWG)" ("Residential ventilation (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 156/WG 2 and CEN/TC 113/156 JWG)") of the Heating and Ventilation Technology Standards at DIN, the German Institute for Standardization e. V.
