Standards for installing extraction canopies
There are many considerations that must be taken into account when specifying
a canopy for a kitchen for example:
-
Size of room
-
Appliances positioned underneath and around the kitchen
-
Location of doors and windows
-
Type of fan
-
Air flow
-
Rating
-
Length and positioning of ducting
-
Noise
-
Smell
-
Health and safety
To help decide which size and type of canopy you require for your installation
there are a number of standards and recommendation documents available.
The Heating and Ventilating Contractors Association have provided a series of
specification documents for canopy installation including:
-
HVCA Specification for Kitchen Ventilation Systems DW/172
The British Standards that regulate gas catering appliances also specify the type
of canopy that should be used with that appliance and should be consulted.
Health and safety regulations will also have reference to ensuring that an area
that contains catering equipment has sufficient ventilation and air circulation.
