Scope

This European standard defines the test methods for and performance requirements for rigid or semi-rigid non-metallic ductwork which are used for ventilation and air conditioning of buildings.
This standard does not include flexible ducts such as textile liners, spiral duct work or others which are handled in EN 13180 or ductwork made from insulation duct board handled in EN 13403. Requirements for the air tightness of the ventilation system for non-residential buildings are given in EN 13779. For residential buildings national rules shall be applied.
The standard is developed to test rigid or semi-rigid ventilation ducts and their components under laboratory conditions. Tests on site shall be done in accordance with EN 12599.
The test methods and performance requirements are valid for ventilation ducts with circular, rectangular or other cross sections. This standard covers non-fire rated and fire rated ductwork. Fire rated ductwork shall also be tested in accordance with EN 1366-1.
