EN 13779 Ventilation System Standards Compliance Testing
The European Standard EN 13779 is a crucial document in the field of mechanical ventilation, setting out essential performance requirements for ducted and non-ducted ventilating systems. This standard ensures that ventilating equipment meets stringent safety and efficiency criteria to protect occupants from harmful contaminants while delivering optimal airflow.
Our laboratory specializes in providing comprehensive EN 13779 compliance testing services, ensuring your ventilation systems meet the specified standards. Our expertise lies in offering rigorous testing for all components of a ventilation system, including ductwork, fans, grilles, and diffusers. The tests are carried out using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure accurate results.
The standard covers various aspects such as air flow rate measurement, pressure drop calculations, noise level assessments, and particle filtration efficiency tests. Our team of experienced engineers performs these tests meticulously to provide you with a detailed report that not only certifies compliance but also highlights any areas for improvement.
Understanding the importance of ventilation in industrial settings is paramount. Poorly designed or maintained ventilation systems can lead to significant health risks, including respiratory problems and other adverse effects on indoor air quality. By adhering to EN 13779 standards, you ensure a safer working environment and comply with regulatory requirements.
Our testing process involves thorough preparation of the specimens, which includes cleaning, calibration, and verification against the specified parameters outlined in the standard. We use precision instruments such as anemometers, pressure gauges, sound level meters, and particle counters to conduct our tests accurately.
The results from these tests are meticulously analyzed by our team of experts who have extensive experience with EN 13779 compliance testing. They ensure that every aspect of the ventilation system meets or exceeds the specified criteria set forth in this standard. Our comprehensive reports provide detailed insights into the performance of your ventilation systems, helping you make informed decisions about maintenance and upgrades.
Our team also assists clients in understanding how to interpret these test results and use them effectively for decision-making processes related to their industrial facilities. This service includes guidance on best practices for maintaining compliance over time, ensuring long-term reliability and safety of the ventilation systems.
