EN 1822 High Efficiency Air Filters (EPA, HEPA and ULPA)

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1822 testing. This european standard uses high efficiency particulate and ultra low penetration air filters (EPA, HEPA and ULPA) in the field of ventilation and air conditioning and for technical processes, e.g. for applications in clean room technology or the pharmaceutical industry.

This european standard is based on particle counting methods that actually meet the needs of most different applications. The difference between this European standard and previous national standards lies in the technique used to determine the integral efficiency.

Establishes a procedure for determining efficiency on the basis of particle count. These filters allow for a methodical and standardized classification using a liquid (or alternatively solid) test aerosol in terms of efficiency, both local and integrated efficiency.

The filter element must be designed or marked to prevent incorrect assembly. The filter element should be designed so that there are no leaks along the sealing edge when properly installed in the ventilation duct.

If for some reason the dimensions do not allow a filter to be tested under standard test conditions, the installation of two or more filters of the same type or model is allowed, provided that the resulting filter does not leak.
