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 29463-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 142, Cleaning equipment for air and other gases.

ISO 29463-3:2011(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 they
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 customer. For lower efficiency filters (group H, as described below),
alternate leak test methods described in ISO 29463-4:2011, Annex A can be used by specific agreement
between users and suppliers, but only if the use of these other methods is clearly designated in the filter
markings as described in ISO 29463-4:2011, Annex A.
There are differences between ISO 29463 (all parts) and other normative practices common in several
countries. For example, many of these rely on total aerosol concentrations rather than individual particles. For
information, a brief summary of these methods and their reference standards are provided in
ISO 29463-5:2011, Annex A.

5 Principle
When testing the sheet filter medium, the particle size efficiency is determined using a particle counting
method. The testing may use a mono-disperse or a poly-disperse test aerosol. The methods differ in terms of
both the production of the aerosol and the particle counter used. Furthermore, the measurement of the
pressure drop is made at the prescribed filter medium velocity.
Specimens of the sheet filter medium are fixed in a test filter assembly and subjected to the test air flow
corresponding to the prescribed filter medium velocity. The test aerosol from the aerosol generator is
conditioned (e.g. vaporization of a solvent), then neutralized, mixed homogeneously with filtered test air and
directed to the test filter assembly.
In order to determine the efficiency, partial flows of the test aerosol are sampled upstream and downstream of
the filter medium. Using a particle counting instrument, the number concentration of the particles contained is
determined for various particle sizes. The results of these measurements are used to draw a graph of
efficiency against particle size for the filter medium, and to determine the particle size for which the efficiency
is a minimum. This particle size is known as the most penetrating particle size (MPPS).
When measuring the particles on the upstream side of the filter medium, it can be necessary to use a dilution
system in order to reduce the concentration of particles down to the measuring range of the particle counter
used.
Additional equipment is required to measure the absolute pressure, temperature and relative humidity of the
test aerosol and to measure and control the test volume flow rate.
6 Sampling of sheet filter media
The testing of the sheet filter medium shall be carried out on at least five samples.
The samples shall be handled with care; the area being tested shall be free from all folds, kinks, holes or other
irregularities.
All samples shall be clearly and permanently marked with the following details:
a) designation of the filter medium;
b) upstream side of the filter medium.
7 Test apparatus
The test apparatus being used and the arrangement of the components and measuring equipment are shown
in Figure 1.
The basic details for the aerosol generation and the aerosol neutralization, together with the details of suitable
types of apparatus, are given in ISO 29463-2.

7.1 Test arrangements for testing with mono-disperse test aerosol
When testing sheet filter media with a mono-disperse test aerosol, the particle number concentration is
determined using a total count method with a condensation particle counter. The arrangement of the test
apparatus is shown in Figure 1.
The mono-disperse test aerosol is created in a number of steps. Firstly, a poly-disperse primary aerosol is
produced using a jet nebulizer with, for example, a DEHS- or DOP-iso-propanol solution. The particles are
reduced to a convenient size for the following process by evaporation of the solvent. The aerosol is then
neutralized and passed to a differential mobility analyser. The quasi-mono-disperse test aerosol available at
the output of the differential mobility analyser is once again neutralized, and then mixed homogeneously with
filtered test air in order to achieve at the test volume flow rate required for the filter medium velocity.
The mean particle diameter of the number distribution is varied by adjusting the voltage between the
2)
electrodes of the differential mobility analyser .
In order to achieve a sufficiently high particle number concentration over the entire test range from 0,04 µm to
0,8 µm, it can prove necessary to use several jet nebulizers with differing concentrations of the aerosol
substances in the solvent. Numerical concentrations that are too high can be adjusted by diluting the test
aerosol before the test filter mounting assembly. The number concentration in the test aerosol shall be
selected so that no dilution is necessary for the measurements made downstream from the filter.
A pump positioned downstream draws the test aerosol through the test filter mounting assembly. This ensures
that the differential mobility analyser can always operate under nearly the same conditions, independent of the
pressure drop across the tested filter medium. In contrast, the testing system operates with an overpressure,
which ensures that leaks in the system do not falsify the test measurements.
Particles are counted upstream and downstream from the filter using either two condensation particle counters
in parallel, or using only one such counter to measure the upstream and downstream concentrations
alternately. If the level of the upstream number concentration exceeds the measuring range of the counter,
then a dilution system shall be included between the sampling point and the counter.
7.2 Test arrangements for testing with a poly-disperse test aerosol
When testing sheet filter media with a poly-disperse test aerosol, optical particle counters that determine the
number distribution and the number concentration of the test aerosol are used.
The tests can be carried out directly with the poly-disperse, neutralized primary aerosol. In order to cover the
test range, it can be necessary to use several jet nebulizers with different concentrations of the aerosol
substance in the solvent. The mean particle diameter of the number distribution shall not lie outside the test
range of the particle counter used.
The arrangement of the test apparatus is shown in Figure 2. Instead of the single or two parallel condensation
particle counters (CPC), optical particle counters are used to determine the number distribution and the
number concentration of the poly-disperse test aerosol on the upstream and downstream sides of the filter
medium.
When testing with a poly-disperse test aerosol and particle counting and sizing equipment, it is also necessary
to ensure that the number concentration of the test aerosol is adjusted to suit the measuring range of the
particle counter, if necessary by the inclusion of a dilution system.
2) The adjustment gives the mode of number distribution. This can be taken as equal to the median value with sufficient
accuracy.

7.3 Test filter mounting assembly
The test filter mounting assembly consists of a moveable upper section and a fixed lower section (an example
2
is shown in Figure 3). The sheet filter medium shall have a circular exposed area of 100 cm . The filter
medium shall be mounted in such a way that the measurements obtained are not influenced by by-pass leaks.
Where seals are used for this purpose, they shall not change the exposed area.
The test aerosol is introduced through the inlet opening in the upper section of the test filter mounting
assembly. It shall be ensured that the test aerosol to which the filter medium is exposed possesses a
homogeneous local concentration over the entire passage area (standard deviation 10 %). An outlet for
the test aerosol is provided in the base section of the test filter mounting assembly.
Further connections are provided for sampling of partial flows of the test aerosol on the upstream side and
downstream side to measure the particles, as well as for the measurement of the pressure drop.
All the materials of the test filter mounting assembly with which the test aerosol comes into contact shall be
kept clean, and shall be easy to keep clean, shall be resistant to corrosion, shall conduct electricity and shall
be earthed (electrically grounded). Stainless steel and anodized aluminium shall preferably be used. The test
filter mounting assembly may have any appropriate constructional form, but shall meet all the test
requirements specified in this part of ISO 29463.

7.3.1 Measurement of differential pressure
The differential pressure across the sheet filter medium is measured using differential pressure measuring
equipment (see ISO 29463-2) which is attached to the upstream and downstream differential pressure
measuring points of the test filter mounting assembly. At the measuring points the static pressure shall be
measured.
The measuring points shall be arranged at right angles to the inner surface of the test filter mounting assembly
so that as far as possible the measurements are not influenced by the flow rate. The inner edges of the drill
holes must be sharp-edged and free of burrs. The connections from the measurement points to the pressure
gauge shall be leakproof and clean.
7.3.2 Sampling
For the sampling of the test aerosol on the upstream and downstream sides, it shall be ensured that the partial
flows contain representative number particle concentrations. Given the small particle sizes being measured in
the testing, isokinetic sampling is not absolutely necessary at this point.
The connections from the sampling point to the measuring apparatus shall be kept clean, shall be
