Edition date: 2018-04-25
In Force
Available languages: German, English
Summary: This Technical Specification sets out the framework and structure for the standard related to ventilation in hospitals. It gives the requirements for the drafting of the parts of the standard, including preliminary terms and definitions. The standard for ventilation in hospitals is intended for all healthcare premises where healthcare services are delivered. It is applicable for healthcare services located in a hospital, clinic or other premises. This includes general and specific risk areas, within healthcare and provides defined levels of air quality/cleanliness for classification of these areas. The standard addresses the minimum requirements for ventilation systems. It specifies the design, installation, operation, qualification process and maintenance of the ventilation systems. The standard describes the following hygienic issues related to the ventilation system: a) air quality (e.g. cleanliness levels, temperature, humidity, air quantity); b) the protection of patients, staff and visitors against harmful agents; c) reducing the growth of microorganisms (e.g. clean-ability, accessibility, wet surfaces, accumulation of particles); d) control of the airflow direction (e.g. tightness of systems and constructions, pressure difference). The standard describes a structured approaches for all phases from design up to and including maintenance and requalification and gives minimum requirements for the ventilation systems: a) minimum user requirement specification (URS); b) functional design requirements (FD); c) requirements for components in the detailed design (DD). This standard is intended for healthcare ventilation system project managers, designers, construction and commissioning engineers, estates managers and operations/facilities managers.

Die vorliegende Technische Spezifikation legt den Rahmen und die Struktur für die Norm hinsichtlich der Lüftung in Krankenhäusern fest. Sie spezifiziert die Anforderungen für die Ausarbeitung der Teile der Norm, einschließlich vorläufiger Begriffe. Die Norm für Lüftung in Krankenhäusern ist für alle Einrichtungen für das Gesundheitswesen vorgesehen, in denen Gesundheitsleistungen erbracht werden. Sie gilt für alle medizinischen Dienste, die sich in Krankenhäusern, klinischen oder sonstigen Einrichtungen befinden. Sie umfasst allgemeine und spezielle Risikobereiche innerhalb des Gesundheitswesens und bietet festgelegte Maße für die Luftqualität/-reinheit für die Klassifikation dieser Bereiche. Die Norm behandelt die Mindestanforderungen für Lüftungsanlagen. Sie legt den Design-, Installations-, Betriebs- und Qualifizierungsprozess sowie die Instandhaltung der Lüftungsanlagen fest. Die Norm beschreibt die folgenden hygienischen Aspekte in Bezug auf die Lüftungsanlage: a) Luftqualität (z. B. Reinheitsgrade, Temperatur, Feuchte, Luftmenge); b) Schutz von Patienten, Personal und Besuchern vor Schadstoffen; c) Reduzierung des Wachstums von Mikroorganismen (z. B. Reinigungsfähigkeit, Zugänglichkeit, nasse Oberflächen, Ansammlung von Partikeln); d) Steuerung der Richtung des Luftstroms (z. B. Dichtheit von Systemen und Konstruktionen, Druckdifferenz). Die Norm beschreibt einen strukturierten Ansatz für alle Phasen von Design bis einschließlich Instandhaltung und Requalifizierung und legt die Mindestanforderungen für die Lüftungsanlagen dar: a) Mindest-Kundenspezifikation (en: user requirement specification; URS); b) Anforderungen an das funktionelle Design (en: functional design; FD); c) Anforderungen an Komponenten im detaillierten Design (en: detailed design; DD). Die vorliegende Norm ist für Projektmanager für Lüftungssysteme im Gesundheitswesen sowie für Design-, Bau- und Inbetriebnahme-Ingenieure, Gebäude-Manager und Betriebsleiter/Facility-Manager vorgesehen.
