This document specifies aerodynamic, acoustic and electrical power performance test methods for unidirectional ventilation units used in residential ventilation systems.

This document is applicable to ventilation units:

  1. installed on a wall or in a window without any duct, A category;

  2. installed in the upstream of a duct, B category;

  3. installed in the downstream of a duct, C category;

  4. installed in a duct, or with duct connection upstream and downstream, D category;

  5. with one or several inlets/outlets;

  6. installed in a system with a heat pump for domestic hot water or water for cooling or heating;

  7. which can be used for supply or exhaust.

This document does not apply to:

  1. fan assisted cowls which are tested according to EN 13141?5 ;

  2. mechanical supply and exhaust units which are tested according to EN 13141?7:2021 or prEN 13141?8:2021 .
