EN 1886 Standard Test for Ventilation for Buildings, Air Handling Units, Mechanical Performance

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1886 testing. This standard covers test methods, test requirements and classifications for air handling units that supply or discharge air through the ventilation duct, part or all of the building.

EN 1886 Standard Test for Ventilation for Buildings, Air Handling Units, Mechanical Performance

This standard does not apply to:

  • Air conditioning units serving a limited area in a building, such as fan coil units;
  • units for residential buildings;
  • Units that produce ventilation air primarily for a production process.

Apart from the thermal and acoustic performance of the enclosure, test methods and requirements are applicable both to complete units and to any individual section. The filter bypass test is not applicable to the testing of high efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA).

It is recommended to install HEPA filters downstream of the air handling unit. Such installations should be leak-tested to appropriate filter standards.

The test method for the thermal performance of the enclosure is valid for comparing different structures, but not for calculating the thermal losses from the enclosure or the risk of condensation.

Similarly, the test method for the acoustic performance of the enclosure is valid for comparing different structures, but not for providing accurate acoustic data for specific units.
