Classic example of the gulf between what the powers that be are concentrating on, and what they should be concentrating on.7 of those 8 fans are just sucking air into the the loft space

@Dustydazzler I'd say I've only fitted around 20 bathroom fans in my time, all for friends and family, about 5 new and the rest replacements and I've only came across it once. Incredibly lazy approach probably speaks volumes for the rest of their work.

In 25+ years of doing Domestics I have probably replaced around 500 fans and I would say a huge chunk were never vented properly, either straight into the loft (no ducting) or a short bit of plastic duct just buried under some insulation. I know its not the end of the world just shoddy

I'v ducted the shower ceiling fan into the top of the cold water tank, seems a waste to vent it to air through the roof.

It’s not just water vapour being sucked away. There will be smells, gasses, ahem
You’ll be using that water to clean your teeth…..

Would that require the manufacturer to test with different ducting systems and length?

It's the installation that is being tested, not the fan.
