Test method for assessing the performance of gas-phase air cleaning media and devices for general ventilation - Part 1: Gas-phase air cleaning media (ISO 10121-1:2014)

ISO 10121-1:2014 aims to provide an objective laboratory test method, a suggested apparatus, normative test sections and normative tests for evaluation of three different solid gas-phase air cleaning media (GPACM) or GPACM configurations for use in gas-phase air cleaning devices intended for general filtration applications. ISO 10121-1:2014 is specifically intended for challenge testing and not for general material evaluation or pore system characterization. The three different types of GPACM identified in ISO 10121-1:2014 are GPACM-LF (particles of different shape and size intended for e.g. Loose Fill applications), GPACM-FL (FLat sheet fabric intended for e.g. flat one layer, pleated or bag type devices) and GPACM-TS (three dimensional structures that are many times thicker than flat sheet and e.g. used as finished elements in a device). The tests are conducted in an air stream and the GPACM configurations are challenged with test gases under steady-state conditions. Since elevated gas challenge concentrations (relative to general ventilation applications) are used, test data should be used to compare GPACM within the same configuration and not for the purpose of predicting performance in a real situation. It is also not implied that different GPACM configurations can be directly compared. The primary intention is to be able to compare like GPACM configurations to like, not between GPACM configurations. Testing of complete devices is described in ISO 10121‑2.
To ensure objectivity for test equipment suppliers, no specific design of the test apparatus is defined: an example is illustrated in an annex. Instead normative demands for media sample holder design, apparatus properties and validation tests are specified.

Methode zur Leistungsermittlung von Medien und Vorrichtungen zur Reinigung der Gasphase für die allgemeine Lüftung - Teil 1: Medien zur Reinigung der Gasphase (ISO 10121-1:2014)

Die vorliegende Norm zielt darauf ab, ein objektives Laborprüfverfahren, eine vorgeschlagene Prüfeinrichtung, normative Prüfabschnitte und normative Prüfungen für die Bewertung drei verschiedener Medien zur Reinigung der Gasphase (GPACM) oder GPACM-Zusammensetzungen für die Verwendung in Einrichtungen zur Reinigung der Gasphase für die Anwendung in der allgemeinen Filtration bereitzustellen. Die Norm ist insbesondere für die Eignungsprüfung und nicht für die allgemeine Materialbewertung oder Charakterisierung des Porensystems vorgesehen. Die in der vorliegenden Norm festgelegten drei verschiedenen Typen sind GPACM-LF (Partikel verschiedener Formen und Größen, z. B. für lose Füllanwendungen), GPACM-FL (flache Gewebelagen, z. B. für flache Einschichteinrichtungen, Falteinrichtungen oder Tascheneinrichtungen) und GPACM-TS (dreidimensionale Strukturen, die um ein Vielfaches dicker als flache Lagen sind und z. B. als Fertigelemente in einer Einrichtung verwendet werden). Die Prüfungen werden in einem Luftstrom durchgeführt und die GPACM-Zusammensetzungen werden bei gleichbleibenden Bedingungen mit Prüfgasen geprüft. Da (in Bezug auf die allgemeine Lüftung) erhöhte Prüfgaskonzentrationen  eingesetzt werden, sollten Prüfdaten verwendet werden, um GPACM innerhalb der gleichen Zusammensetzung zu vergleichen und nicht zum Zweck der Vorhersage der Leistung in realen Situationen. Es wird auch nicht ausgesagt, dass verschiedene GPACM-Zusammensetzungen direkt miteinander verglichen werden können. Das primäre Ziel ist der Vergleich gleicher GPACM-Zusammensetzungen und nicht verschiedener GPACM-Zusammen¬setzungen. Die Prüfung von gesamten Einrichtungen ist in ISO/FDIS 10121-2 beschrieben.
Damit die Sachlichkeit für Lieferanten von Prüfeinrichtungen sichergestellt ist, wird keine bestimmte konstruktive Ausführung der Prüfeinrichtung normativ vorgegeben. Anstelle von normativen Anforderungen an die konstruktive Ausführung des Medienprobenhalters werden Geräteeigenschaften und Validierungs-prüfungen festgelegt.

Méthodes d'essai pour l'évaluation de la performance des médias et des dispositifs de filtration moléculaire pour la ventilation générale - Partie 1: Médias de filtration moléculaire (GPACM) (ISO 10121-1:2014)

L'ISO 10121-1:2014 a pour objet de fournir une méthode d'essai en laboratoire objective, un appareillage recommandé, des sections d'essai normatives et des essais normatifs pour l'évaluation de trois différents média de filtration moléculaire (GPACM) ou de configurations de GPACM utilisés dans des dispositifs de filtration moléculaire destinés à des applications de filtration générale. L'ISO 10121-1:2014 concerne spécifiquement les essais et non l'évaluation générale des matériaux ou la caractérisation du système de pores. Les trois types différents de GPACM identifiés dans l'ISO 10121-1:2014 sont le GPACM-LF (particules de différentes formes et tailles destinées par exemple aux applications utilisant un médium en vrac), le GPACM-FL (feuille textile plane destinée par exemple aux dispositifs plans à une seule couche, aux dispositifs plissés ou aux dispositifs à sac) et le GPACM-TS (structures tridimensionnelles beaucoup plus épaisses qu'une feuille plane et utilisées par exemple en tant qu'éléments finis dans un dispositif). Les essais sont réalisés dans un flux d'air et les configurations de GPACM sont soumises à essai avec des gaz d'essai dans des conditions de régime établi. Des concentrations élevées de gaz d'essai (par rapport aux applications de ventilation générale) étant utilisées, il convient d'utiliser les données d'essai pour comparer les GPACM dans la même configuration et non dans le but de prédire les performances en situation réelle. Cela ne signifie pas non plus que différentes configurations de GPACM peuvent être comparées directement. L'objectif principal est de pouvoir comparer des configurations de GPACM similaires et non des configurations de GPACM différentes. Les essais relatifs aux dispositifs complets sont décrits dans l'ISO 10121.
Pour garantir l'objectivité vis-à-vis des fournisseurs d'équipement d'essai, aucune conception spécifique de l'appareillage d'essai n'est normalisée: un exemple est donné en annexe. En revanche, les exigences normatives relatives à la conception du porte-échantillon pour média, aux propriétés des appareils et aux essais de validation sont spécifiées.

Preskusne metode za ocenjevanje lastnosti sredstev in naprav za čiščenje zraka v plinski fazi za splošno prezračevanje - 1. del: Sredstva za čiščenje zraka v plinski fazi (ISO 10121-1:2014)

Cilj standarda EN ISO 10121-1 je zagotoviti objektivno laboratorijsko preskusno metodo, predlagane aparate, normativne preskusne dele in normativne preskuse za ovrednotenje treh različnih sredstev za čiščenje zraka v plinski fazi (GPACM) ali konfiguracij GPACM, ki se uporabljajo v napravah za čiščenje zraka v plinski fazi za splošno prezračevanje. Ta del standarda ISO 10121 je posebej namenjen preskušanju ustreznosti in ne splošni oceni materiala ali karakterizaciji pornega sistema. Trije različni tipi GPACM, opredeljeni v tem delu standarda ISO 10121, so GPACM-LF (delci različnih oblik in velikosti, namenjeni npr. za uporabo kot prosto polnilo), GPACM-FL (plosko blago, namenjeno npr. za ploske enoslojne, plisirane ali vrečaste naprave) ter GPACM-TS (tridimenzionalne strukture, ki so veliko debelejše od ploskega materiala in se npr. uporabljajo kot končni elementi v napravi). Preskusi se izvajajo v toku zraka, konfiguracije GPACM pa se preskusijo s preskusnimi plini pri ustaljenih pogojih. Ker se pri preskušanju uporabljajo povišane koncentracije plinov (glede na uporabo med splošnim prezračevanjem), naj bi se preskusni podatki uporabili za primerjavo GPACM znotraj enake konfiguracije in ne za namen predvidevanja lastnosti v resničnih razmerah. Prav tako se ne predvideva, da je mogoče različne konfiguracije GPACM neposredno primerjati. Glavni namen je omogočiti primerjavo podobnih konfiguracij GPACM s podobnimi konfiguracijami, ne pa med konfiguracijami GPACM. Preskušanje celotnih naprav je opisano v standardu ISO 10121-2. Da bi se zagotovila objektivnost za dobavitelje preskusne opreme, posebna zasnova preskusnih aparatov ni določena: primer je prikazan v dodatku C (informativno). Namesto normativnih zahtev za zasnovo držala vzorca sredstva so določene lastnosti aparatov in preskusi za potrjevanje.
