Summary

Air filters used in general ventilation are tested in laboratory according to EN 779 standard which has been revised in 2002. The objective of the tests described in EN 779 Annex A is to determine if the efficiency of the filter material is based on the electrostatic effects and to measure the efficiency of the filter before and after these effects have been removed. Results obtained on the occasion of a round robin test decided by Eurovent/Cecomaf organisation has allowed to assess the discharging procedures proposed in EN 779 Annex A and to know more about the performances of air filters in real life.
