EN 13180 Standard Test for Dimensions and Mechanical Requirements for Ventilation, Ducts, Flexible Ducts for Buildings

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 13180 standard. This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for the technical characteristics of flexible ducts used in ventilation and air conditioning installations in occupied buildings.

EN 13180 Standard Test for Dimensions and Mechanical Requirements for Ventilation, Ducts, Flexible Ducts for Buildings

This standard defines the following parameters to be tested or inspected:

  • Dimensions and tolerances;
  • Mechanical resistance.

Acoustic, thermal, reaction to fire and pressure loss characteristics of flexible ducts are not covered by this standard.

However, due to the different types of flexible ducts and the various requirements in each application, some technical specifications are presented in classes and may differ depending on the materials used.

Flexible ducts delivered compressed will remain undamaged. They will withstand loads perpendicular to their axis. To assess mechanical resistance, the crush strength characteristic must be determined by application. Minimum specifications may be imposed at the national level.
