The revised EN 13142 will be a harmonized standard; the scope is modified
accordingly. prEN 13142 makes references to individual parts of EN 13141;
these parts will not be harmonized.
The title of the document remains unchanged.
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
