- mechanical supply and exhaust unit.
This standard does not apply to other products such as filters, fire dampers, ducts, control devices, sound attenuators, which may also be incorporated in a residential ventilation.
This standard does not cover requirements raised by European directives, for example: Low voltage directive, EMC directive and other requirements such as corrosion, resistance and snow penetration.
