This document specifies methods for measuring the aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics of cowls and roof outlets used in both natural and mechanical ventilation. Only those cowls and roof outlets fitted onto ducts which project above the roof surface are covered by the present standard.
Regarding the assisted cowls, only the fan assisted cowls are covered by the present standard, other types (such as injection assisted cowls) being too recent to be adequately considered for the time being.
The performance testing of the "assistance" provided by the auxiliary fan of an assisted cowl is excluded for the scope of this standard.

This European Standard specifies requirements and testing for ratings and performance of air handling units as a whole. It also specifies requirements, recommendations, classification, and testing of specific components and sections of air handling units. For many components and sections it refers to component standards, but it also specifies restrictions or applications of standards developed for stand alone components.
This standard is applicable both to standardised designs, which may be in a range of sizes having common construction concepts, and also to custom-design units. It also applies both to air handling units, which are completely prefabricated, and to units which are built up on site. Generally the units within the scope of this standard include at least a fan, a heat exchanger and an air filter.
This standard is not applicable to the following:
a)   air conditioning units serving a limited area in a building, such as fan coil units;
b)   units for residential buildings;
c)   units producing ventilation air mainly for a manufacturing process.

This European Standard specifies laboratory methods for testing externally and internally mounted air transfer devices
operating under pressure differences.

types:

-devices with manually adjustable opening(s);
-devices with pressure difference controlled opening(s);
-window openings specifically designed to act as an air transfer device.
It describes tests intended to characterise the following:
-flow rate/pressure;
-non-reverse flow ability;
-air tightness when closed' (for closeable externally mounted air transfer device);
-geometrical free area;
-air diffusion in the occupied zone;

-water tightness.
This standard does not apply to evaluation of:
-air filtration;
-condensation risk;
-noise production.

1   Scope
This European Standard applies to the design and implementation of ventilation, air conditioning and room conditioning systems for non-residential buildings subject to human occupancy, excluding applications like industrial processes. It focuses on the definitions of the various parameters that are relevant for such systems.  
The guidance for design given in this standard and accompanying TR 13779 are mainly applicable to mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation systems. Natural ventilation systems or natural parts of hybrid ventilation systems are not covered by this standard. Reference is made to the Technical Report for informative guidance on the design of such systems.
Applications for residential ventilation are not dealt with in this standard. Performance of ventilation systems in residential buildings are dealt with in EN 15665 and CEN/TR 14788.
The classification uses different categories. For some values, examples are given and, for requirements, typical ranges with default values are presented. The default values given in this standard are not normative as such, and should be used where no other values are specified. Classification should always be appropriate to the type of building and its intended use, and the basis of the classification should be explained if the examples given in the standard are not to be used.
NOTE   Different standards may express the categories for the same parameters in a different way, and also the category symbols may be different.

Concerning performance testing of odour extraction (clause 7), this European
standard refers entirely to IEC 61561:1997, clause 13. Experience from a large number of
performance tests on both extracting and re-circulating hoods shows that hoods with average
or inferior performance in a real situation, can achieve excellent performance numbers (odour
reduction factors) in the test. The direct reference to IEC 61561:1997, clause 13 should be
removed and a modified test method should be included in EN 13141-3, clause 7.

This European Standard specifies laboratory methods for measuring the aerodynamic and acoustic performance characteristics and energy consumption of assembled exhaust ventilation system packages for a single dwelling. If a component of the package is not physically linked to the others (e.g. externally/internally mounted air transfer devices), then it is assumed to have been tested according to the test method related to this component. An example of a typical exhaust package is given in Figure 2.
The object of this standard is to provide tested characteristics for a system package in worst case conditions. It is assumed that better values are achieved on site when the system package is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction and within the limits of the test conditions given in this standard. Safety requirements are given in EN 60335-2-80.

EN 12341 describes a standard method for determining the PM10 or PM2,5 mass concentrations of suspended particulate matter in ambient air by sampling the particulate matter on filters and weighing them by means of a balance. Measurements are performed with samplers with inlet designs as specified in Annex A, operating at a nominal flow rate of 2,3 m3/h, over a nominal sampling period of 24 h. Measurement results are expressed in μg/m3, where the volume of air is the volume at ambient conditions near the inlet at the time of sampling. The range of application of this European Standard is from approximately 1 μg/m3 (i.e. the limit of detection of the standard measurement method expressed as its uncertainty) up to 150 μg/m3 for PM10 and 120 μg/m3 for PM2,5. This European Standard describes procedures and gives requirements for the use of so-called sequential samplers, equipped with a filter changer, suitable for extended stand-alone operation. Sequential samplers are commonly used throughout the European Union for the measurement of concentrations in ambient air of PM10 or PM2,5. However, this European Standard does not exclude the use of single-filter samplers.

This European Standard specifies a method for measuring the water rejection performance of louvres subject to simulated rain and wind pressures, both with and without air flow through the louvre under test. For the purpose of tests in this standard, a 1000 mm ´ 1000 mm section of weather louvre or the nearest possible blade increment is considered.
Weather louvres are designed to restrict the passage of water during rainfall while allowing the passage of air into or from an air distribution system or part of a building.

This provides a common basis on which to compare the water rejection performance of weather louvres of different designs. This standard is not intended for the evaluation of weather performance of pressure relief dampers.
The purpose of tests incorporated in this European Standard is as follows:
