EN 13779 Indoor Air Quality Guidelines Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

The European Standard EN 13779 is a widely recognized and adopted standard for indoor air quality guidelines. The standard provides a framework for assessing the indoor air quality in buildings, taking into account various factors such as ventilation rates, pollutant concentrations, and user comfort. The standard is based on the ISO 16000 series of standards, which provides a comprehensive approach to indoor air quality assessment.

The EN 13779 standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2007. The current version (EN 13779:2016) incorporates the latest scientific research and findings, ensuring that the standard remains relevant and effective in addressing indoor air quality issues.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The European Union has established various directives and regulations aimed at improving indoor air quality in buildings. The most significant directives include:

  • Directive 2002/91/EC on energy performance of buildings
  • Directive 2006/42/EC on machinery safety
  • Regulation (EU) 2017/2200 on the regulation of fluorinated greenhouse gases
  • These regulations require building owners and operators to ensure that their facilities meet specific indoor air quality standards. EN 13779 provides a framework for compliance with these regulations, enabling building owners and operators to demonstrate that they have taken necessary steps to improve indoor air quality.

    International and National Standards

    EN 13779 is based on the ISO 16000 series of standards, which are widely adopted globally. Other relevant international standards include:

  • ISO 16111:2011 Indoor air - Determination of acoustical parameters
  • ISO 16516:2012 Indoor air Assessment of acoustics in buildings
  • National standards that align with EN 13779 include:

  • British Standard BS EN 13779:2016
  • German standard DIN EN 13779:2016-12
  • French standard NF EN 13779:2017
  • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is responsible for developing and maintaining the EN 13779 standard. CEN collaborates with other international organizations, such as ISO, to ensure that standards are harmonized across regions.

    How Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards evolve through a formal process involving:

    1. Research and development: Scientific research identifies areas where standards need updating or revision.

    2. Committee review: Standardization committees evaluate the research findings and determine whether updates or revisions are necessary.

    3. Drafting: Technical experts draft revised standards based on committee decisions.

    4. Voting: Members of standardization organizations vote to approve or reject proposed changes.
