scope:

This International Standard applies to cooking fume extractors incorporating a fan for the recirculation or forced removal of air from above a cooking appliance situated in a household kitchen. It can also be used for cooking fume extractors where the fan is mounted separately of the appliance but controlled by the appliance when the fan is defined in the technical documentation (e.g. name plate data) and instructions for installation. This standard deals also with down-draft systems arranged beside, behind or under the cooking appliance. This standard defines the main performance characteristics of these appliances which are of interest to the user and specifies methods for measuring these characteristics. This standard does not specify a classification or ranking for performance. NOTE - This standard does not deal with safety requirements according to IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-31
