EN 16282-3:2016/prA1

Equipment for commercial kitchens - Components for ventilation in commercial kitchens - Part 3: Kitchen ventilation ceilings; design and safety requirements

This European Standard specifies requirements for the design, construction and operation of kitchen ventilation ceilings, including technical safety, ergonomic and hygienic features.
This European Standard is applicable to ventilation systems in commercial kitchens, associated areas and other installations processing foodstuffs intended for commercial use. Kitchens and associated areas are special rooms in which meals are prepared, where tableware and equipment is washed, cleaned and food is stored.
This European Standard is applicable to kitchen ventilation ceilings except those used in domestic kitchens.
A method of verification of each requirement is also specified.
Unless otherwise specified, the requirements of this standard need to be checked by way of inspection and/or measurement.
NOTE   Please note the possible existence of additional or alternative local national regulations on installation, appliance requirements and inspection, maintenance and operation.

Overview

EN 16282-3:2016/prA1 - Equipment for commercial kitchens - Components for ventilation in commercial kitchens - Part 3: Kitchen ventilation ceilings; design and safety requirements - defines the design, construction and operational requirements for kitchen ventilation ceilings used in commercial kitchens. The amendment (prA1) updates normative references (notably replacing EN 50164 with EN 50310 for bonding) and refines material and surface requirements. The standard focuses on technical safety, ergonomics and hygiene for ventilation systems in commercial food‑service environments and specifies a method of verification for each requirement (inspection and/or measurement).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and applicability: Applies to ventilation ceilings in commercial kitchens, associated areas and other installations processing foodstuffs for commercial use; excludes domestic kitchens.
• Design and safety: Requirements cover mechanical construction, structural sub‑construction, air chambers, division plenums and pressure rooms to ensure safe and reliable operation.
• Materials and surfaces: Detailed material guidance (stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised steel, concrete, water‑resistant plasterboard/Aquapanel®) and surface finishes (brushed, polished, anodised, coated) to meet hygienic and corrosion‑resistant needs.
• Electrical bonding: Amendment mandates compliance with EN 50310 (telecommunications bonding networks for buildings) for earth bonding and bonding network considerations.
• Verification methods: Unless otherwise specified, requirements are verified by inspection and/or measurement; the standard defines how to check conformity for each clause.
• Ergonomics and hygiene: Layout and access considerations for cleaning, maintenance and safe operation in high‑use commercial kitchens.
• Safety interfaces: Coordination with other EN 16282 parts (hoods, aerosol separators, ducts, fire suppression) for integrated kitchen ventilation safety.

Applications

• Design and specification of fixed kitchen ventilation ceilings in restaurants, hotels, institutional kitchens, catering facilities and commercial food production areas.
• Material selection and detailing to meet hygiene, corrosion and cleaning requirements in food environments.
• Installation and commissioning checks, routine inspection schedules and compliance documentation for facility managers and safety officers.
• Product development and conformity testing for manufacturers of ventilation ceilings, extract/supply air boxes and ceiling modules.

Who uses this standard

• Mechanical and HVAC designers, consulting engineers and architects
• Manufacturers of kitchen ventilation ceilings and components
• Installers, commissioning agents and maintenance teams
• Health & safety officers, inspectors and regulatory authorities
• Facility managers in commercial foodservice and catering operations

Related standards

• EN 16282 series (Parts 1–8) - comprehensive guidance on commercial kitchen ventilation components
• EN 50310 - telecommunications bonding networks for buildings (referenced for earth bonding)

This standard is essential for ensuring safe, hygienic and compliant kitchen ventilation ceiling design in commercial food environments.
