For each group a slightly different test procedure applies. All filters are classified according to their filtration performance (see 6.5). SIST EN 1822-1:2019
EN 1822-1:2019 (E) 6 Group E filters are subdivided in three classes: — Class E10; — Class E11; — Class E12. Group H filters are subdivided in two classes: — Class H13; — Class H14. Group U filters are subdivided in three classes: — Class U15; — Class U16; — Class U17. 6 Requirements 6.1 General The filter element shall be designed or marked so as to prevent incorrect mounting. The filter element shall be designed so that when correctly mounted in the ventilation duct, no leak occurs along the sealing edge. If, for any reason, dimensions do not allow testing of a filter under standard test conditions, assembly of two or more filters of the same type or model is permitted, provided no leaks occur in the resulting filter. 6.2 Material The filter element shall be made of suitable material to withstand normal usage and exposures to those temperatures, humidities and corrosive environments that are likely to be encountered. The filter element shall be designed so that it will withstand mechanical constraints that are likely to be encountered during normal use. Dust or fibres released from the filter media by the air flow through the filter element shall not constitute a hazard or nuisance for the people (or devices) exposed to filtered air. 6.3 Nominal air volume flow rate The filter element shall be tested at its nominal air volume flow rate for which the filter has been designed by the manufacturer. 6.4 Pressure difference The pressure difference across the filter element is recorded at the nominal air volume flow rate.

NOTE ISO 29463-1:2017 developed by ISO/TC 142 includes a classification system for high efficiency air filters according to their filtration performance (efficiency or penetration) similar to EN 1822-1. Table A.1 gives a by-side comparison of the classification in EN 1822-1 and ISO 29463-1:2017. 7 Test methods 7.1 Test rigs The test rigs are described in detail in EN ISO 29463-3, EN ISO 29463-4 and EN ISO 29463-5. The individual methods of measurement and the measuring instruments are described in EN ISO 29463-2. 7.2 Test conditions The air in the test channel used for testing shall comply with the following requirements: — Temperature: (23 ± 5) °C; — Relative humidity < 75 %.
The temperature shall remain constant during the entire test procedure within ± 2 °C the relative humidity within ± 5 %. SIST EN 1822-1:2019
EN 1822-1:2019 (E) 8 The cleanliness of the test air shall be ensured by appropriate pre-filtering, so that in operation without addition of aerosol the particle number concentration measured with the particle counting method is less than 352 000 m «3. The test specimen shall have the same temperature as the test air. 7.3 Test aerosols For the testing of EPA, HEPA and ULPA filters in accordance with this standard, a liquid test aerosol shall be used. Alternatively, a solid aerosol may be used for leak testing (see EN ISO 29463-4:2018, Annex E). Possible aerosol substances include but are not limited to DEHS, PAO and PSL. For further details, see EN ISO 29463-2:2018, 4.1. The use of alternative materials for challenge aerosols can also be agreed between supplier and purchaser when the materials specified in this standard are unacceptable. The concentration and the size distribution of the aerosol shall be constant over time. For the leak testing and the efficiency test of the filter element the mean particle diameter of the test aerosol shall correspond to the most penetrating particle size (MPPS) for the filter medium. 7.4 Survey of test procedures 7.4.1 General The complete testing procedure for EPA, HEPA and ULPA filters in accordance with this standard consists of three steps, each of which may be implemented as an independent test. 7.4.2 Step 1: Testing sheet filter medium The efficiency of flat sheet filter medium test samples shall be determined for a range of particle sizes at the nominal filter medium velocity. From the efficiency versus particle size curve, generated this way, the most penetrating particle size (MPPS) shall be determined. See 7.5.1. 7.4.3 Step 2: Leak test of the filter element Filter elements of Groups H and U shall be individually tested for absence of leaks at their nominal air volume flow rate. Filter elements of Group H
