Certification of air filters

The certification of fine filters and their energy efficiency classification is currently carried out by the EUROVENT Certification Company. They revised its certification program and classification to further provide a powerful orientation for energy-efficient filter selection. Since January 2019 a new energy rating based on the ISO 168900:2016 test standard has been in force. Dust removal media, on the other hand, are tested and certified according to EN 60335-2-69 appendix AA.
Classification of air filters

Classification of air filters

Standardized test methods exist in Europe for the testing and classification of coarse and fine dust filters as well as HEPA filters. The ISO 16890 standard for fine dust filters, which will be the sole valid standard from mid-2018 onwards, is much more differentiated compared to the previous standard and is based on the local air quality of the respective process site. The revised ISO 29461-1 standard classifies air filters for the intake air filtration of turbomachinery.
