[Current]Air filters for general ventilation, Part 1: Technical specifications, requirements and classification system based upon particulate matter efficiency (ePM) (ISO 16890-1:2016, MOD)
AS 16890.1:2024 adopts and modifies ISO 16890 1:2016, which establishes an efficiency classification system of air filters for general ventilation based upon particulate matter. It also provides an overview of the test procedures, and specifies general requirements for assessing and marking the filters, as well as for documenting the test results
