Ventilation in hospitals - Coherent hierarchic structure and common terms and definitions for a standard related to ventilation in hospitals
This Technical Specification sets out the framework and structure for the standard related to ventilation in hospitals. It gives the requirements for the drafting of the parts of the standard, including preliminary terms and definitions.
The standard for ventilation in hospitals is intended for all healthcare premises where healthcare services are delivered. It is applicable for healthcare services located in a hospital, clinic or other premises. This includes general and specific risk areas, within healthcare and provides defined levels of air quality/cleanliness for classification of these areas. The standard addresses the minimum requirements for ventilation systems. It specifies the design, installation, operation, qualification process and maintenance of the ventilation systems.
The standard describes the following hygienic issues related to the ventilation system:
a) air quality (e.g. cleanliness levels, temperature, humidity, air quantity);
b) the protection of patients, staff and visitors against harmful agents;
c) reducing the growth of microorganisms (e.g. clean-ability, accessibility, wet surfaces, accumulation of particles);
d) control of the airflow direction (e.g. tightness of systems and constructions, pressure difference).
The standard describes a structured approaches for all phases from design up to and including maintenance and requalification and gives minimum requirements for the ventilation systems:
a) minimum user requirement specification (URS);
b) functional design requirements (FD);
c) requirements for components in the detailed design (DD).
This standard is intended for healthcare ventilation system project managers, designers, construction and commissioning engineers, estates managers and operations/facilities managers.

“Ventilation in Hospitals”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,

Introduction
The aim of CEN/TC 156 working group 18 is to establish a standard for all aspects of ventilation in
hospitals. This Technical Specification (TS) is work item 00156231 of CEN/TC 156 and gives a
framework and structure for the parts of the standard “Ventilation in Hospitals”. Based on this
framework the standard will be developed. The TS also provides preliminary definitions to be used in
the standard and gives an overview of the scope.
The standard “Ventilation in hospitals” could be applied to all healthcare premises whether located in a
hospital, clinic or other premises where healthcare services are delivered. It will include the specific
high risk areas and covers the aspects of construction and ventilation that provide defined levels of air
quality/cleanliness for classification of these areas. The standard will deal with the design,
classification, operation and maintenance phase of a project. The standard will not consider the general
ventilation aspects covered by other standards or the medical implications.
The resulting standard is intended for healthcare managers, design, construction and commissioning
engineers, estates managers and operations managers.
When drafting the parts of the standard for ventilation in hospitals, at least the following standards will
be taken into account for normative references:
EN 308, Heat exchangers ― Test procedures for establishing the performance of air to air and flue gases
heat recovery devices
EN 1506, Ventilation for buildings ― Sheet metal air ducts and fittings with circular cross-section ―

For the consistency in the standard on ventilation in hospitals, the preliminary terms, definitions and
abbreviated terms defined in Clauses 3 and 4 will be used. Part 1, the general part, will repeat (possibly
with improvement) the terms that are necessary for all parts of the standard. If additional definitions or
adaption of the given definitions are necessary they will be defined in the specific part of the standard.
