CEN/TC 156 Ventilation for buildings

Technical Specification

Scope

Scope of the proposed deliverable
This technical specification applies to all healthcare premises where healthcare services are delivered. It is applicable for medical locations such as 'Healthcare premises' and 'Medical Centres', where clinical and health-related services are provided including specific risk areas. This TS provides defined levels of air quality/cleanliness and comfort for these areas and addresses the requirements for ventilation systems. It specifies the design, installation, operation, verification process, maintenance and reverification of the ventilation systems.

This document describes requirements for the ventilation systems:

- user requirement specification (URS),
- functional design requirements (FD)
- requirements for components in the detailed design (DD)


The document describes the following hygienic issues related to the ventilation system:

a) protection of patients, staff and visitors against biological and other harmful agents;
b) reducing the growth of microorganisms (e.g. clean-ability, accessibility, wet surfaces, accumulation of particles);
c) air quality (e.g. cleanliness levels, temperature, humidity, air quantity, thermal comfort);
d) control of the airflow direction (e.g. tightness of systems and constructions, pressure difference).


This document is intended for project managers, designers, construction and commissioning engineers, estates managers and operations/facilities managers.
