Air filters for general ventilation - Part 4: Conditioning method to determine the minimum fractional test efficiency (ISO 16890-4:2016)

ISO 16890-4:2016 establishes a conditioning method to determine the minimum fractional test efficiency.
It is intended for use in conjunction with ISO 16890‑1, ISO 16890‑2 and ISO 16890‑3, and provides the related test requirements for the test device and conditioning cabinet as well as the conditioning procedure to follow.
The conditioning method described in this part of ISO 16890 is referring to a test device with a nominal face area of 610 mm × 610 mm (24 inch × 24 inch).
ISO 16890 (all parts) refers to particulate air filter elements for general ventilation having an ePM1 efficiency less than or equal to 99 % and an ePM10 efficiency greater than 20 % when tested according to the procedures defined within ISO 16890 (all parts).
NOTE          The lower limit for this test procedure is set at a minimum ePM10 efficiency of 20 % since it will be very difficult for a test filter element below this level to meet the statistical validity requirements of this procedure.
Air filter elements outside of this aerosol fraction are evaluated by other applicable test methods. See ISO 29463 (all parts).
Filter elements used in portable room-air cleaners are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 16890.
The performance results obtained in accordance with ISO 16890 (all parts) cannot by themselves be quantitatively applied to predict performance in service with regard to efficiency and lifetime.
The results from this part of ISO 16890 may also be used by other standards that define or classify the fractional efficiency in the size range of 0,3 μm to 10 μm when electrostatic removal mechanism is an important factor to consider, for example ISO 29461.

Luftfilter für die allgemeine Raumlufttechnik - Teil 4: Konditionierungsverfahren für die Ermittlung des Fraktionsabscheidegradminimus (ISO 16890-4:2016)

Filtres à air de ventilation générale - Partie 4: Méthode de conditionnement afin de déterminer l'efficacité spectrale minimum d'essai (ISO 16890-4:2016)

ISO 16890-4:2016 établit une méthode de conditionnement pour déterminer l'efficacité spectrale minimum d'essai.
Elle est destinée à être utilisée conjointement avec l'ISO 16890‑1, l'ISO 16890‑2 et l'ISO 16890‑3 et fournit les exigences d'essai associées pour le dispositif d'essai et l'enceinte de conditionnement ainsi que le mode opératoire de conditionnement à suivre.
La méthode de conditionnement décrite dans la présente partie de l'ISO 16890 se réfère à un banc d'essai ayant une surface frontale nominale de 610 mm × 610 mm (24 inch × 24 inch).
L'ISO 16890 (toutes les parties) concerne les éléments filtrant de ventilation générale ayant une efficacité ePM1 inférieure ou égale à 99 % et une efficacité ePM10 supérieure à 20 %, lorsqu'ils sont soumis à essai selon les modes opératoires définis dans l'ISO 16890 (toutes les parties).
NOTE          Pour ce mode opératoire, la limite inférieure est fixée à une efficacité minimale ePM10 de 20 % étant donné qu'il est très difficile pour un élément filtrant d'essai, en dessous de ce niveau, de respecter les exigences de validité statistique de ce mode opératoire.
En dehors de ces fractions d'aérosol, les éléments filtrants sont évalués par d'autres méthodes d'essai applicables. Voir l'ISO 29463 (toutes les parties).
Les éléments filtrants utilisés dans les épurateurs d'air ambiant portatifs sont exclus du domaine d'application de la présente partie de l'ISO 16890.
Les résultats de performance obtenus conformément à l'ISO 16890 (toutes les parties) ne peuvent pas être utilisés quantitativement pour prédire les performances en service, en ce qui concerne l'efficacité et la durée de vie.
Les résultats de la présente partie de l'ISO 16890 peuvent également être utilisés par d'autres normes qui définissent ou classent l'efficacité spectrale dans la plage granulométrique de 0,3 µm à 10 μm lorsque le mécanisme d'élimination électrostatique est un facteur important à prendre en compte, par exemple l'ISO 29461.

Zračni filtri pri splošnem prezračevanju - 4. del: Metoda kondicioniranja za ugotavljanje minimalne frakcijske učinkovitosti (ISO 16890-4:2016)

Ta evropski standard se uporablja za zračne filtre delcev za splošno prezračevanje, katerih začetna učinkovitost v zvezi z delci velikosti 0,4 μm je manj kot 99 %. Filtri, ki se uporabljajo pri prezračevanju nizkih stanovanjskih stavb ali premični čistilniki zraka v prostorih so izključeni s področja uporabe tega standarda. Opisuje tehnične specifikacije, zahteve in metodo kondicioniranja (izpraznjenja) filtrov v koraku umetnega staranja, s čimer se zagotovijo informacije o intenzivnosti elektrostatičnega mehanizma odstranjevanja. Metoda je uporabna za tok zraka med 0,25 m³/s (900 m³/h, 530 ft³/min) in 1,5 m³/s (5400 m³/h, 3178 ft³/min) v preskusnih ceveh z nazivno površino 0,61 m x 0,61 m. Boljši filtri z začetno učinkovitostjo nad 99 % glede na delce velikosti 0,4 µm se preskušajo in razvrščajo v skladu z drugimi standardi (glej ISO 29463, del 1-5). Filtri v skladu s to serijo standardov se ocenjujejo po njihovi učinkovitosti odstranjevanja delcev aerosolov PM10, PM2.5 in PM1. Učinkovitost zbiranja delcev vložka filtra se meri kot funkcija velikosti delcev v razponu od 0,3 do 10 μm pri praznem in nekondicioniranem vložku filtra. V drugem koraku je treba polni vložek filtra kondicionirati (izprazniti) v koraku umetnega staranja, s čimer se zagotovijo informacije o intenzivnosti elektrostatičnega mehanizma odstranjevanja. Rezultati drugega koraka se uporabljajo za izračun povprečne učinkovitosti v razponih velikosti PM10, PM2.5 in PM1 s ponderiranjem vrednosti frakcijske učinkovitosti glede na porazdelitev standardizirane in normalizirane velikosti delcev povezane frakcije zunanjega aerosola. V tem standardu je določena ta porazdelitev standardizirane in normalizirane velikosti delcev.

Introduction
The effects of particulate matter (PM) on human health have been extensively studied in the past
decades. The results are that fine dust can be a serious health hazard, contributing to or even causing
respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Different classes of particulate matter can be defined according
to the particle size range. The most important ones are PM , PM and PM . The U.S. Environmental
10 2,5 1
Protection Agency (EPA), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Union define
PM as particulate matter which passes through a size-s
