This International Standard is intended for the measurement of the air permeability of buildings or parts of buildings in the field. It specifies the use of mechanical pressurization or depressurization of a building or part of a building. It describes the measurement of the resulting air flow rates over a range of indoor-outdoor static pressure differences.

This International Standard is intended for the measurement of the air leakage of building envelopes of single-zone buildings. For the purpose of this International Standard, many multi-zone buildings can be treated as single-zone buildings by opening interior doors or by inducing equal pressures in adjacent zones.

It does not address evaluation of air permeability of individual components.

This Standard specifies the laboratory test methods and test requirements for aerodynamic, energy rating and acoustic performance, of multifunctional balanced units intended for use in a single dwelling.

In the case of units consisting of several parts, this standard applies only to those designed and supplied as a complete package with the mount instructions.

It covers unit that contain at least, within one or more casing:

      supply and exhaust air fans;

      air filters

      common control system.

And one or more of the additional components

       Air to water heat pump;

       Air to air heat pump

       air-to-air heat exchanger

except units including either an air to air heat exchanger and/or exhaust air to supply air heat pump which are already covered by EN 13141-7.

A non-exhaustive list of possible configurations of multifunctional units covered by this standard is given in Clause 5.

The standard does not cover the thermal aspects of humidity transfer in the air-to-air heat exchanger.

This standard does not deal with non-ducted units on supply and extract air side.

This standard does not deal with collective units (centralised or semi-centralised systems)

These multifunctional balanced units can be connected to ground heat exchanger for air preheating, solar collector or other heating systems. This standard does not cover the testing of these additional components.

This standard does not cover units including combustion engine driven compression heat pumps and sorption heat pump.

This British Standard gives recommendations and guidance on the use of rope access methods for work at height. It is intended for use by employers, employees and self-employed persons who use rope access methods, and those who commission rope access work, e.g. building owners and contractors, and also by national enforcement agencies and safety officers. This British Standard is applicable to the use of rope access methods for access to buildings, other structures(on or offshore) or natural features (such as cliff faces), in which the ropes are suspended from, or connected to, the structure or natural feature. It is applicable to situations where ropes are used as the primary means of access, egress or support and as the primary means of protection against a fall.

This standard is not intended to apply to the use of rope access methods for leisure activities, arboriculture, general steeplejack methods or emergency personal evacuation systems, or to the use of rope access (line rescue) techniques by the fire brigade and other emergency services for rescue work or for training.

This part of PD 8010 provides a recommended framework for carrying out an assessment of the acute safety risks associated with a major accident hazard pipeline (MAHP) containing flammable substances as defined in the Pipelines Safety Regulations [1]. It provides guidance on the selection of pipeline failure frequencies and the modelling of failure consequences for the prediction of individual and societal risks.

The principles of this part of PD 8010 are based on best practice for the quantified risk analysis of new pipelines and existing pipelines. It is not intended to replace or duplicate existing risk analysis methodology, but is intended to support the application of the methodology and provide recommendations for its use.

This part of PD 8010 is applicable to buried pipelines on land that can be used to carry category D and category E substances that are hazardous by nature, being flammable and therefore liable to cause harm to persons. The guidance does not cover environmental risks.

Definition, requirements and testing of additional functionalities for water meters in combination with Additional Functionality Devices (AFD) as standardised in part 1 of the EN 14154 in response to EU/EFTA Mandate M/441 EN.

This standard applies to AFDs that are installed in locations with vibration and shocks of low significance and in:

       closed locations (indoor or outdoor with protection as specified by the manufacturer) with condensing or with non-condensing humidity;

or, if specified by the manufacturer:

       open locations (outdoor without any covering) with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity;

       locations liable to temporary saturation,

and in locations with electromagnetic disturbances corresponding to those likely to be found in residential, commercial buildings or similar buildings.

This European Standard does not specify the required level of all properties to be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. The required levels are to be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards.

Products with a declared thermal conductivity at 10 °C (mean temperature) greater than 0,060 W/(m × K) or a declared thermal resistance lower than 0,25 m2 × K/W are not covered by this European Standard.

This European Standard does not cover factory made cellulose mats, bats or quilts intended to be used for the insulation of buildings or in-situ cellulose products for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations. Nor does it specify performance requirements.
