Scope

This standard applies to the planning, construction and qualification of ventilation and air conditioning (VAC) systems in buildings and rooms used in the health sector, particularly those used for medical examinations, treatments and operations on humans, including any rooms directly connected to such rooms via doors, corridors/hallways, etc. in: -- hospitals -- day clinics -- treatment rooms in doctor's offices/surgeries -- operating rooms in outpatient facilities -- dialysis centres -- internal and external medical device sterilization facilities This standard applies to the operation of VAC systems only when they have been designed, built and accepted on the basis of this standard. This standard does not cover the design of special treatment facilitates (for treating highly infectious, deadly diseases). VAC systems may be necessary for the purposes of infection control or to fulfil special requirements, e.g. due to physical (heating and cooling loads), structural, climactic or toxicological conditions. This standard does not affect the validity of standards dealing with the ventilation of special rooms or for special applications.
