Overview
The standards of the DIN EN 13141 series include performance tests of components/products for the ventilation of dwellings. The new edition of DIN EN 13141-3 contains methods for measuring the main performance characteristics of range hoods for residential use. The new edition applies to air extraction range hoods without fan. For air extraction range hoods with fan see EN 61591. The standard does not specify: - values for performance characteristics; - safety requirements in relation with the use of methyl-ethyl ketone (MEK). In comparison to EN 13141-3:2004 the following changes have been made: - reduction of the scope to exclude air extraction range hoods with fan already taken into account in EN 61591 developed by IEC/TC 59 “Performance of household and similar electrical appliances”; - adding of a specific clause concerning performance test of odour extraction (see Clause 7) instead of making reference to EN 61591. This document (EN 13141-3:2017) has been prepared by 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" ("Residential ventilation") at DIN Standards Committee Heating and Ventilation Technology and their Safety (NHRS).
