Supersedes: AS 1324.1-1996 Air filters for use in general ventilation and airconditioning, Part 1: Application, performance and construction
Draft Designation: DR 01093This Standard forms Part 1 of a two-part series of Standards, which addresses general air filters. Part 2 of the series covers the methods of test for such air filters.
The classification system given in this Standard has been generally adopted from EN 779, Particulate air filters for general ventilation— Requirements, testing, marking.
The term ‘informative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which it applies. An ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.
Originated as part of AS 1323-1973 and AS 1324-1973. Previous edition AS 1324.1-1996. Second edition 2001.This Standard sets out requirements for the performance and construction of air filters for use in general ventilation and airconditioning systems. It classifies air filters on the basis of design, construction, performance and application, and establishes minimum criteria for acceptance of an air filter into a particular category.
NOTES:
1: HEPA filters are specified in AS 4260.
2: Alternative means for demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A.
