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 29463-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 142, Cleaning equipment for air and other gases.
ISO 29463 consists of the following parts, under the general title High-efficiency filters and filter media for
removing particles in air:
 Part 1: Classification, performance, testing and marking
 Part 2: Aerosol production, measuring equipment, particle-counting statistics
 Part 3: Testing flat sheet filter media
 Part 4: Test method for determining leakage of filter element — Scan method
 Part 5: Test method for filter elements

ISO 29463-2:2011(E)
Introduction
ISO 29463 (all parts) is derived from EN 1822 (all parts) with extensive changes to meet the requests from
non-EU p-members. It contains requirements, fundamental principles of testing and the marking for high-
efficiency particulate air filters with efficiencies from 95 % to 99,999 995 % that can be used for classifying
filters in general or for specific use by agreement between users and suppliers.
ISO 29463 (all parts) establishes a procedure for the determination of the efficiency of all filters on the basis of
a particle counting method using a liquid (or alternatively a solid) test aerosol, and allows a standardized
classification of these filters in terms of their efficiency, both local and overall efficiency, which actually covers
most requirements of different applications. The difference between ISO 29463 (all parts) and other national
standards lies in the technique used for the determination of the overall efficiency. Instead of mass
relationships or total concentrations, this technique is based on particle counting at the most penetrating
particle size (MPPS), which, for micro-glass filter mediums, is usually in the range of 0,12 µm to 0,25 µm. This
method also allows testing ultra-low penetration air filters, which was not possible with the previous test
methods because of their inadequate sensitivity. For membrane filter media, separate rules apply, and are
described in ISO 29463-5:2011, Annex B. Although no equivalent test procedures for testing filters with
charged media is prescribed, a method for dealing with these types of filters is described in ISO 29463-5:2011,
Annex C. Specific requirements for test method, frequency, and reporting requirements can be modified by
agreement between supplier and cus
