Particulate air filters for general ventilation - Standardised dimensions

This document specifies the header frame dimensions of air filters for general ventilation to be used in air handling units, air intake system filters for rotary machinery and other applications. This includes pocket filters, rigid (V type) filters and filters to which header frame dimensions are applicable.

Partikel-Luftfilter für die allgemeine Raumlufttechnik - Standardisierte Abmessungen

Dieses Dokument legt die Abmessungen des Filterrahmens von Luftfiltern fest, die in Lüftungsgeräten, Filteransaugsystemen von drehenden Maschinen und andere Anwendungen verwendet werden. Dies schließt Taschenfilter, Mattenfilter (V-Typ) und Filter, bei denen die Abmessungen der Filterrahmen verwendbar sind, ein.

Filtres à air de ventilation générale pour l'élimination des particules - Dimensions normalisées

Le présent document spécifie les dimensions du cadre de protection des filtres à air de ventilation générale destinés à être utilisés dans les caissons de traitement d'air, les filtres des systèmes d’entrée d’air pour machines rotatives et autres applications. Ceci inclut les filtres à poche, les filtres rigides (type V) et les filtres auxquels les dimensions du cadre de protection sont applicables.

Zračni filtri za delce pri splošnem prezračevanju - Standardne mere

Ta evropski standard določa dimenzije okvirja glave zračnih filtrov pri splošnem prezračevanju, ki se uporabljajo v enotah za obdelavo zraka, filtrih sistemov za dovod zraka pri rotacijskih strojih in drugih vrstah uporabe. To vključuje žepne filtre, toge (V-tip) filtre in filtre, za katere veljajo dimenzije okvirja glave.

Overview

EN 15805:2021 - Particulate air filters for general ventilation - Standardised dimensions (CEN) defines the header frame and face dimensions for particulate filters used in general ventilation. It applies to filters installed in air handling units (AHUs), air intake systems for rotary machinery, pocket filters, rigid (V‑type) filters and any filter type where header frame dimensions are relevant. This European Standard supersedes EN 15805:2009 and references EN ISO 29464:2019 for terminology.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and filter types: Pocket filters, rigid (V-type) filters and other filters with header frames for general ventilation and air intake systems.
• Face (overall) dimensions: Standard nominal holding frame sizes and corresponding filter (header frame) face dimensions are specified (examples include):
  • Holding frame 610 × 610 mm → Filter face 592 × 592 mm
  • Holding frame 508 × 610 mm → Filter face 490 × 592 mm
  • Holding frame 305 × 305 mm → Filter face 287 × 287 mm
• Tolerances:
  • Holding frame dimensions: +0 / −2 mm
  • Filter face (header frame) dimensions: +3 / −2 mm
• Holding frame relation: Holding frame nominal dimensions shall be 18 mm greater than the external dimensions of the corresponding header frame filter dimensions.
• Header frame geometry: Preferred header frame depth (d) = 25 mm; alternative 20 mm. Depth tolerance ±0.5 mm. Header frame width (f) ≥ 16 mm.
• Installation guidance: Side-access systems and filter channels must be designed to accommodate the specified dimensions and tolerances.
• Normative reference: EN ISO 29464:2019 (cleaning of air - terminology).

Applications and who uses it

EN 15805:2021 is essential for:

• HVAC designers and consultants specifying filter size compatibility in air handling units and ventilation systems.
• Filter manufacturers producing pocket and V‑type filters to ensure interchangeability and sealing against holding frames.
• AHU and rotary machinery OEMs that require standardised intake filter interfaces.
• Facility managers and procurement teams selecting replacement filters and spare parts.
• Standards bodies and test laboratories verifying dimensional compliance.

Adopting EN 15805 helps ensure interchangeability, easier maintenance, consistent procurement and reliable sealing performance across commercial and industrial ventilation systems.
