CEN/TC 195 - Materiali, componenti e sistemi per la depurazione e la filtrazione di aria, gas e fumi

Data Documento: 15/12/2008
Organo Tecnico: CEN/TC 195 - Cleaning equipment for air and other gases

Note:
This European Standard applies to efficient particulate air filters (EPA), high efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA) and ultra low penetration air filters (ULPA) used in the field of ventilation and air conditioning and for technical processes, e.g. for clean room technology or applications in the nuclear and pharmaceutical industry. It establishes a procedure for the determination of the efficiency on the basis of a particle counting method using a liquid test aerosol, and allows a standardized classification of these filters in terms of their efficiency. Part 5 of the standard deals with measuring the efficiency of filter elements, specifying the conditions and procedures for carrying out tests, describing a specimen test apparatus and its components, and including the method for evaluating test results.
