What certifications do I need for the EU market?

Can you provide CB test reports for local certification?
Yes. We can provide CB scheme test reports to help you complete local certifications in many countries without retesting from scratch.

Products & Sizing

How do I calculate what CFM exhaust fan I need?
Use our free CFM calculator. The formula is CFM = (Length × Width × Height) × air changes per hour ÷ 60. A bathroom typically needs 8 air changes per hour, a kitchen 15.
What is the difference between ceiling, wall and window exhaust fans?
Ceiling fans mount in the ceiling and duct to the outside; wall fans mount through a wall opening; window fans fit in a window frame. Full comparison with airflow-loss figures: wall vs ceiling exhaust fan. Ceiling is ideal for bathrooms, wall for kitchens and workshops, window for rooms without duct space.
Which is quieter — an inline duct fan or an axial fan?
An inline (mixed-flow) duct fan is generally quieter because the duct absorbs sound and the impeller is designed for lower turbulence. Axial fans move more air at low pressure but are noisier. See our inline duct fan vs axial fan guide.
Do you make silent bathroom fans?
Yes, we produce a dedicated silent series for bathrooms and bedrooms. We publish the measured noise rating (dB) for each model and can send test reports on request.
Can you customize voltage for different countries?
Yes. We support 110V/60Hz (North America), 220–240V/50Hz (Europe, Middle East, Australia), and custom voltage requirements. Just specify in your inquiry.

Shipping & Logistics

How long does shipping take to Jeddah or Dubai?
Sea freight from Ningbo/Shanghai to Jeddah or Dubai typically takes 20–30 days port-to-port, depending on the sailing schedule. Air freight takes 3–5 days for urgent orders. We confirm the exact schedule when you place the order.
What are your shipping terms (Incoterms)?
We quote FOB Ningbo/Shanghai as standard, and can also arrange CIF, CFR or DDP to your port or door. Tell us your destination and we will recommend the most cost-effective option.
How are the fans packed to prevent damage?
Each fan is packed in an individual carton with foam or EPS protection, then loaded on export pallets or into reinforced cartons for container shipping. We send pre-shipment packing photos before every shipment.
What is the lead time for mass production?
Standard in-stock models: 3–7 days. Standard production orders: 20–30 days. OEM/custom mold orders: 45–60 days (including tooling). We provide weekly production updates and pre-shipment photos.

Yes. Every order includes a printed installation manual and wiring diagram, and we can send PDF versions in English, Arabic or Chinese before shipment.
