This European standard specifies and classifies the component/product performance characteristics which may be necessary for the design, rating and dimensioning, placing on the market of residential ventilation products and systems to provide the predetermined performance, comfort conditions of temperature, air velocity, humidity, hygiene and sound in the occupied zone.
It defines those performance characteristics (mandatory or optional) which shall be determined, measured and presented according to relevant test methods. It provides a classification scheme which leads to a full definition of product properties based on test methods described in various EN Standards and gives an overview of the test standards. Distinction between mandatory and optional requirement is left to each European and national regulations.
The codification part in Annex A and the classification part in Clause 4 apply to the following products:
-   unidirectional mechanical supply and exhaust residential ventilation units according to prEN 13141 4, prEN 13141 6 and prEN 13141 11;
-   ducted mechanical bidirectional residential ventilation units according to prEN 13141 7;
-   non-ducted mechanical bidirectional residential ventilation units according to prEN 13141 8.
This European standard does not apply to other products such as filters, fire dampers, ducts, control devices and sound attenuators, which may also be incorporated in residential ventilation.
This European standard specifies in Annex ZA the requirements of EU 1253/2014 and EU 1254/2014 for residential ventilation units below 1 000 m3/h air volume flow.
This European standard does not cover requirements raised by European Directives (e.g. low voltage directive, EMC directive) and other requirements such as corrosion, fire resistance and snow penetration.

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.

ISO 16890-3:2016 specifies the test equipment and the test methods used for measuring the gravimetric efficiency and resistance to air flow of air filter for general ventilation.
It is intended for use in conjunction with ISO 16890‑1, ISO 16890‑2 and ISO 16890‑4.
The test method described in this part of ISO 16890 is applicable for air flow rates between 0,25 m3/s (900 m3/h, 530 ft3/min) and 1,5 m3/s (5 400 m3/h, 3 178 ft3/min), referring to a test rig with a nominal face area of 610 mm × 610 mm (24 in × 24 in).
ISO 16890 (all parts) refers to particulate air filter elements for general ventilation having an ePM1 efficiency less than or equal to 99 % and an ePM10 efficiency greater than 20 % when tested as per the procedures defined within ISO 16890 (all parts).
Air filter elements outside of this aerosol fraction are evaluated by other applicable test methods. See ISO 29463 (all parts).
Filter elements used in portable room-air cleaners are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 16890.
The performance results obtained in accordance with ISO 16890 (all parts) cannot by themselves be quantitatively applied to predict performance in service with regard to efficiency and lifetime.

This document provides procedures and methods for measuring and/or calculating the energy efficiency and associated characteristics of fans when driven by electric motors. It provides procedures and methods to evaluate the compliance of the fan efficiency against minimum efficiency requirements.
This document includes stand-alone fans and fans that are integrated in other products. It gives guidance to manufacturers in providing information to surveillance authorities to describe the full extent of the fan by describing boundaries, significant elements and additional parts.
Jet fans are included in the Regulation 327/2011. This document covers the requirements for labelling and technical information but provides no reference for the determination of their efficiency. Refer to EN ISO 13350 for determination of that products efficiency.
Some units previously identified as fans are now defined as Uni-Directional Ventilation Units. This document explains and shows by way of examples the difference between fans and Uni-Directional Ventilation Units.
