EN ISO 10121-2:2013

Test methods for assessing the performance of gas-phase air cleaning media and devices for general ventilation - Part 2: Gas-phase air cleaning devices (GPACD) (ISO 10121-2:2013)

ISO 10121-2:2013 aims to provide an objective test method to estimate the performance of any full size gas filtration device (GPACD) for general filtration regardless of media or technique used in the device. In fact, the goal of this part of ISO 10121 is to avoid relating the test data to internal parameters altogether. The benefit with this approach is that customers of GPACDs will be able to concentrate on price/performance and suppliers will have access to a normative and objective test standard that will not require the release of proprietary information or reverse engineering of the product.
To ensure objectivity for test equipment suppliers, no specific design of the test apparatus is specified. Instead requirements of apparatus properties and validation tests are specified. However, different design examples in present use are outlined. ISO 10121-2:2013 can also be used with technologies such as scrubbers, absorbers, non-sorptive devices or packed columns as long as they fit into the test apparatus, can be meaningfully judged by the test method and are intended for general ventilation applications, both residential and non residential. Nuclear and military applications are specifically excluded.

Methode zur Leistungsermittlung von Medien und Vorrichtungen zur Reinigung der Gasphase für die allgemeine Lüftung - Teil 2: Einrichtungen zur Reinigung der Gasphase (ISO 10121-2:2013)

Dieser Teil der Norm bietet ein sachgerechtes Prüfverfahren zur Bewertung der Betriebseigenschaften von großformatigen Einrichtungen zur Reinigung der Gasphase (GPACD) für allgemeine Filtration, unabhängig von den im Gerät verwendeten Medien oder angewendeten Verfahren. Mit diesem Teil von ISO 10121 soll vielmehr vermieden werden, die Prüfdaten gänzlich auf interne Parameter zu beziehen. Der Nutzen bei dieser Vorgehensweise ist, dass Anwender der GPACD in die Lage versetzt werden, sich auf Verhältnis von Preis/Leistung zu konzentrieren, und Lieferanten (Anbieter) Zugang zu einer normativen und objektiven Prüf-norm bekommen, die keine Freigabe von urheberrechtlich geschützten Informationen oder Rekonstruktionen des Produkts verlangt.
Damit die Sachlichkeit für Lieferanten von Prüfeinrichtungen sichergestellt ist, wird keine bestimmte konstruktive Ausführung der Prüfeinrichtung vorgegeben. Stattdessen sind Anforderungen an die Geräteeigenschaften und Validierungsprüfung festgelegt. Verschiedene Konstruktionsbeispiele von gegenwärtig eingesetzten Geräten werden beschrieben. Dieser Teil der ISO 10121 kann auch bei Verfahrens-techniken angewendet werden, z. B., sofern diese in die Prüfeinrichtung hineinpassen, für Gaswäscher, Absorber, nicht saugfähige Bauteile oder Füllkörpersäulen, die sich mit dem Prüfverfahren aussagekräftig beurteilen lassen und für die allgemeine Lüftung von Wohn- und Nichtwohngebäuden (gewerbliche und Verwaltungsgebäude) vorgesehen sind. Nukleare und militärische Anwendungen sind ausdrücklich aus-geschlossen.

Méthodes d'essai pour l'évaluation de la performance des médias et des dispositifs de filtration moléculaire pour la ventilation générale - Partie 2: Dispositifs de filtration moléculaire (GPACD) (ISO 10121-2:2013)

L'ISO 10121-2:2013 a pour objet de fournir une méthode d'essai objective permettant d'évaluer les performances de tout dispositif de filtration moléculaire (GPACD) de dimension normalisée pour la ventilation générale quels que soient les médias ou la technique utilisés dans le dispositif. L'ISO 10121-2:2013 a en fait pour objet d'éviter d'associer les données d'essai aux paramètres internes. L'avantage de cette approche est que la clientèle des GPACD est en mesure de se concentrer sur le prix/les performances et les fournisseurs ont accès à une norme d'essai normative et objective qui n'exige pas la diffusion de renseignements exclusifs d'intérêt commercial ou de rétro-ingénierie du produit.
Pour garantir l'objectivité des fournisseurs d'équipement d'essai, aucune conception spécifique des appareils d'essai n'est normative. En revanche, les exigences normatives des propriétés des appareils et des essais de validation sont spécifiées. Cependant, divers exemples de conceptions actuellement utilisées sont soulignés. L'ISO 10121-2:2013 peut être aussi utilisée avec des technologies telles que débourbeurs, absorbeurs, dispositifs de non-sorption ou laveurs à garnissage tant qu'elles s'adaptent à l'appareil d'essai, qu'elles peuvent être considérées significatives par la méthode d'essai et sont destinées aux applications de ventilation générale à la fois résidentielles et non résidentielles. Les applications nucléaires et militaires sont explicitement exclues.

Preskusna metoda za ocenjevanje zmogljivosti sredstev in naprav za čiščenje plinske faze za splošno prezračevanje - 2. del: Plinske naprave za čiščenje plinske faze (ISO 10121-2:2013)

Cilj tega dela standarda ISO 10121 je zagotoviti objektivno preskusno metodo za ocenjevanje zmogljivosti naprav za čiščenje plinske faze (GPACD) za splošno filtriranje, ne glede na medije ali tehnike, uporabljene v napravi. Pravzaprav je cilj tega dela standarda ISO 10121 preprečiti, da bi se podatki preskusa sploh povezovali z notranjimi parametri. Prednost tega pristopa je, da se bodo lahko kupci naprav za čiščenje plinske faze osredotočili na ceno/zmogljivost ter bodo dobavitelji imeli dostop do normativnega in objektivnega preskusnega standarda, pri katerem ne bosta potrebna izdaja lastniških informacij ali povratni inženiring proizvoda. Poseben model preskusne naprave ni določen, da se zagotovi objektivnost dobaviteljev preskusne opreme. Namesto tega so navedene zahteve za lastnosti naprave in potrjevanja. Kljub temu so orisani primeri različnih modelov, ki so trenutno v uporabi. Ta del standarda ISO 10121 je mogoče uporabljati s tehnologijami, kot so pralniki, absorberji, nesorptivne priprave ali nasute kolone, če se prilegajo v preskusno napravo, če jih je mogoče s preskusno metodo smiselno oceniti in če so predvidene za splošno uporabo pri prezračevanju v stanovanjskih in nestanovanjskih okoljih. Uporaba v jedrske in vojaške namene je izrecno izključena.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10121-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 142, Cleaning equipment for air and other gases.
ISO 10121 consists of the following parts, under the general title Test methods for assessing the
performance of gas-phase air cleaning media and devices for general ventilation:
— Part 1: Gas-phase air cleaning media (GPACM)
— Part 2: Gas-phase air cleaning devices (GPACD)
