BS EN 13141-3:2017

What is BS EN 13141-3 - Performance testing of range hoods for residential use without fan about?  

BS EN 13141-3 is the third part of the BS EN 131 series of standards specifies methods for measuring the main performance characteristics of range hoods for residential use. BS EN 13141-3 applies to air extraction range hoods without fan. The main objective of the BS EN 13141-3 is to ensure the efficiency of the range hood and minimize the risk of product failure. 

BS EN 13141-3 European Standard does not specify: 

• Values for performance characteristics 
• Safety requirements in relation with the use of methyl-ethyl ketone (MEK) 

For air extraction range hoods with fan see BS EN 61591.  

Who is BS EN 13141-3- Performance testing of range hoods for residential use without fan for? 

BS EN 13141-3 on range hoods is useful for: 

• Range hoods manufacturers 
• Range hoods installers 
• Quality control authorities 

Why should you use BS EN 13141-3 - Performance testing of range hoods for residential use without fan?  

Range hoods are made to remove the odors, grease, smoke, and fumes produced while cooking.

BS EN 13141-3 provides a test to check the aerodynamic characteristics that can help to check the suction capacity of the hoods while making food. BS EN 13141-3 can ensure the range hoods has good capture efficiency.

BS EN 13141-3 provides the performance test that can check the working and the acoustic characteristics that can ensure efficiency and the durability of the range hood.
