What is Extractor Fan Flow Rate Testing?

Although enforcement can be inconsistent, Approved Document Part F of the Building Regulations requires all mechanical extract fans in new dwellings to undergo a flow rate test to ensure they meet minimum performance standards. The results must be submitted to the Building Control Body. This testing requirement applies to all types of ventilation systems, including simple intermittent extract fans and whole-house mechanical extract systems with heat recovery (MVHR). As new homes are built to achieve lower air permeability rates, ventilation testing is becoming increasingly important in the drive for more energy-efficient housing. With buildings becoming more airtight, ensuring effective ventilation is essential to prevent issues such as damp and condensation. Part F Ventilation Testing (Flow Rate Testing) should be carried out by a BPEC or NICEIC qualified technician using UKAS-calibrated equipment to ensure accuracy and compliance.

Our highly experienced technicians offer expert guidance and support to help you achieve compliance with Part F of the Building Regulations.

We test Intermittent Extract Fans (System 1) and Decentralised Mechanical Extract Ventilation (D-MEV), also known as System 3, ensuring they meet the required standards.

Ventilation testing can be carried out as a standalone service or alongside our Air Tightness Testing for a seamless compliance process.
