About This Item
TS EN 12792 is a terminology and symbol standard for ventilation for buildings. It brings together the symbols, terms and graphical symbols used across standards in this technical field, helping designers, specifiers and engineers use the same language and the same visual notation when describing ventilation systems.
Why shared terminology matters in building ventilation
Building ventilation covers a wide range of concepts, including air flow, ducts, fans, filters, terminals and indoor air quality. A terminology standard reduces ambiguity by aligning names and definitions across drawings, specifications, manuals and maintenance documents. Graphical symbols add another layer of consistency, making schematic layouts and technical drawings easier to read and compare.
What this standard covers
According to the supplied scope, TS EN 12792 covers the symbols and terminology included in the European standards prepared by CEN/TC 156 under the heading 'Ventilation for buildings'. In other words, its focus is not on sizing or performance calculation itself, but on the common technical vocabulary and symbolic representation used within this standards family. That distinction is important because the same ventilation concept can otherwise appear under different names or symbols in different documents.
- Symbols: abbreviations and notational forms used in technical documents
- Terminology: the shared names used for ventilation components and functions
