In recent years, an increasing number of foreign customers have requested domestic manufacturers to provide ASHRAE 52.2 test reports when purchasing filters and air purifiers. Shangdu Certification has also assisted several export enterprises in obtaining this test report.\n\n**Introduction to ASHRAE 52.2 Standard**\nASHRAE 52.2 - "Method of Testing General Ventilation Air-Cleaning Devices for Removal Efficiency by Particle Size" specifies the method for measuring and reporting particle size efficiency in the range of 0.3 to 10 micrometers. Efficiency data is derived from measuring 12 sets of particle sizes. The particle size efficiency is measured on clean filter samples and then re-measured after loading with five different amounts of dust. The loading dust is ASHRAE synthetic test dust, and each standard has different dust sampling methods. In the subsequent six efficiency determinations, the lowest efficiency in each group of particle sizes is observed and converted into a new value called the minimum combined efficiency. These 12 values are then divided into three groups based on particle size ranges, with four values in each group. The three groups include particle size ranges of 0.3-1.0 micrometers, 1.0-3.0 micrometers, and 3.0-10.0 micrometers. The average value of each group of four values is taken, resulting in three combined average efficiencies, denoted as E1, E2, and E3. These three combined average efficiencies are then compared with the requirements of ASHRAE 52.2 Table 12-1 to determine the minimum efficiency reporting value, commonly referred to as MERV. This single number represents the lowest efficiency throughout the testing process. Additionally, the standard discusses the total amount of dust that the filter can retain before reaching its final resistance, known as dust holding capacity (DHC).\n\n**Applicable Products for ASHRAE 52.2**\n- General air filters\n- Electrostatic filters\n- Air purifiers\n\nThe International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recently released a milestone air filtration industry standard - ISO 16890, which defines the testing procedures and classification methods for air filters used in general ventilation equipment. This new standard provides an opportunity for global harmonization of air filtration industry standards for the first time, replacing the dominant EN 779:2012 in Europe. In Asia and the Middle East, both standards coexist. With the introduction of the new ISO 16890 testing standard, filter efficiency will be determined based on classifications such as PM1, PM2.5, and PM10. This ensures that filters are evaluated more specifically based on their actual performance. Compared to the previous two major standards, ISO 16890 incorporates advantages while discarding disadvantages, proposing a very scientific testing standard and classification system. The most significant advantage is that the efficiency testing of filters must be grouped by particulate matter, with filter efficiency determined by the classifications PM1, PM2.5, and PM10.\n\n**Content of ISO 16890 Standard**\nThe standard consists of four parts: 1) Technical specifications, requirements, and classification system based on particle size filtration efficiency; 2) Classification efficiency testing and flow resistance testing; 3) Determination of weight efficiency and the relationship between flow resistance and dust holding capacity changes; 4) Electrostatic elimination methods and determination of minimum classification testing efficiency.\n\n**Scope of ISO 16890**\n- Applicable products: General air filters, electrostatic filters (partially measurable);\n- Applicable range: Airflow 900 m3/h - 5400 m3/h, outlet size: no more than 610mm x 610mm.\n\n**Differences Between ISO 16890 and Existing Standards**\n1. Compared to existing standards, the new testing methods have higher requirements in multiple aspects. This will raise the performance standards for filters, thereby improving indoor air quality and protecting human health.\n2. The new testing methods are closer to the operational performance of air filters in real application environments.\n3. The classification method targets the performance of filters for three different particle size categories (PM1, PM2.5, PM10).\n4. Importantly, the smallest particle size category, commonly referred to as PM1, consists of ultrafine particles that are most harmful to human health.\n\n**Other Filter Standards**\nNingbo Shangdu Certification is dedicated to the development and research of various testing standards for air filters, and also provides testing for the following standards for a wide range of customers.\n- EN 779:2002 "Determination of Filtration Performance of Air Filters for General Ventilation"\n- EN 1822 "High Efficiency Air Filters (EPA, HEPA, and ULPA)"\n- ISO 29461 "Intake Filtration Systems for Rotating Machinery"\n- ISO 29463 "High-Efficiency Filters and Filter Media for Removing Particles from Air"\n\nAdditionally, we also provide FM, UL, EUROVENT, CE certifications for many filter manufacturers.
The standard content includes four parts: 1) Technical specifications, requirements, and a grading system based on particle size filtration efficiency; 2) Grading efficiency testing and flow resistance testing; 3) Determination of weight efficiency and the relationship between flow resistance and corresponding dust capacity changes.
Ningbo Shangdu Certification is dedicated to the development and research of various testing standards for air filters, and also provides the following standard tests for a wide range of clients. Please feel free to call for consultation.
EU REACH
The EU REACH Regulation ((EC) No 1907/2006), fully titled "Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals," is a regulation concerning the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals in the EU. This regulation officially came into effect on June 1, 2007, and was implemented on June 1, 2008. The REACH regulation replaces previous EU regulations or directives such as (EEC) No 793/93, (EC) No 1488/94, and 76/769/EEC, becoming a comprehensive regulation for the unified preventive management of all chemicals entering the EU market. Its implementation significantly impacts exports to the EU from various countries, including China, particularly in industries such as chemicals, electromechanical, textiles, dyeing, rubber, plastics, toys, and furniture. Main contents of the REACH regulation: 1. Registration: All chemical substances produced or imported in quantities exceeding 1 ton per year must be registered. Substances produced or imported in quantities over 10 tons must also submit a chemical safety report. 2. Evaluation: This includes dossier evaluation and substance evaluation. Dossier evaluation checks the completeness and consistency of the registration documents submitted by companies; substance evaluation assesses the risks posed by chemical substances to human health and the environment. 3. Authorisation: Authorization is required for the production and import of chemical substances that have certain hazardous properties and are of high concern, including CMR, PBT, vPvB, etc. 4. Restriction: If a substance, mixture, or article is deemed to pose risks to human health and the environment that cannot be adequately controlled, its production or import within the EU will be restricted. Responsibilities and obligations under the REACH regulation: 1. Substances/Mixtures: Unless otherwise specified by REACH, any manufacturer or importer of substances in the EU that are present in quantities greater than or equal to 1 ton/year, whether on their own or in one or more mixtures, must submit a registration to ECHA. 2. Articles: (1) If a product contains intentionally released substances and the annual export volume of that substance exceeds 1 ton, registration is required. (2) If a product does not contain intentionally released substances, the following conditions must be assessed: A. If the product contains substances of very high concern (SVHC) at a concentration of less than 0.1%, there is no obligation to notify or actively provide information, but if requested by the importer or consumer, relevant information must be provided; B. If the product contains SVHC at a concentration greater than 0.1% and the annual export volume is less than 1 ton, the downstream importer must be informed, and relevant information must be provided, along with documentation; C. If the product contains SVHC at a concentration greater than 0.1% and the annual export volume exceeds 1 ton, notification to ECHA is required; D. Upon consumer request, all suppliers of the article must provide sufficient information to the consumer within 45 days to ensure safe use of the article, including at least the name of the substance. (3) Substance restrictions: The restrictions on certain hazardous substances, mixtures, and articles as outlined in Annex XVII of the REACH regulation are significant tasks beyond SVHC. What is SVHC? According to Article 57 of the REACH regulation, substances that meet one or more of the following hazardous characteristics can be identified as substances of very high concern (SVHC): 1. Category 1 and 2 carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive toxic substances (CMR); 2. Persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic substances (PBT); 3. Very persistent and very bioaccumulative substances (vPvB); 4. Substances with endocrine-disrupting properties, or that are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic, or very persistent and very bioaccumulative but do not meet the criteria of 2 and 3, and for which there is scientific evidence of serious impacts on human health or the environment. SVHC candidate list: Competent authorities or institutions in member states can propose substances for inclusion in the SVHC candidate list by submitting dossiers that meet the above characteristics. Stakeholders will be invited to comment on the substances in the dossier, and upon discussion and approval, the substance will be identified as an SVHC, i.e., a candidate for authorization. Authorized substances are selected from the candidate list of SVHCs and are listed in Annex XIV (the authorization list). Manufacturers, importers, or downstream users in the supply chain must submit authorization applications to ECHA 18 months before the sunset date to obtain the right to use or place on the EU market.

EU RoHS Testing
RoHS is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation, officially known as the "Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment" (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). This standard has been officially implemented since July 1, 2006, primarily to regulate the material and process standards of electrical and electronic products, making them more beneficial to human health and environmental protection. The purpose of this standard is to eliminate six substances in electrical and electronic products: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (Note: the correct Chinese name for PBDE refers to polybrominated diphenyl ethers, while polybrominated biphenyls is an incorrect term), with a specific regulation that the lead content must not exceed 0.1%. The RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, RoHS 2.0) officially came into effect on July 21, 2011, replacing the previous 2002/95/EC. The EU RoHS 2.0 directive (2011/65/EU) Article 4, Paragraph 1 requires: Member States must ensure that electrical and electronic products placed on the market, including cables and spare parts used for repair, reuse, upgrading their functions, or enhancing their capacity, do not contain substances listed in Annex II. The list of restricted substances under RoHS 2.0 is shown in the table below: Among them, four phthalates were officially added to the RoHS 2.0 directive's restricted list by amendment (EU) 2015/863 on June 4, 2015, as detailed in the official addition of four phthalates to the RoHS 2.0 restricted substances.

National Standard GB4806 Testing
According to the Food Safety Law and its implementation regulations, as well as the State Council's decision on strengthening food safety work, in order to implement the "12th Five-Year Plan" for the national food safety regulatory system and the "12th Five-Year Plan" for national food safety standards regarding the task of cleaning and integrating food standards, in May 2014, the National Health and Family Planning Commission issued the work plan for the integration of national food safety standards (2014-2015), initiating the task of cleaning and integrating food standards, which also includes the integration of standards for food-related products. The Health and Family Planning Commission led the integration of existing standards for food containers, packaging materials, and other food-related products according to the classification of food-related products and the directory of safety standards for food-related products, forming the basic standards and product standards for food-related products. By the end of 2015, the task of cleaning and integrating safety standards for food-related products was successfully completed, and a new standard framework gradually formed and improved. The revised safety standard for food contact materials, GB4806.1 "National Food Safety Standard for General Safety Requirements of Food Contact Materials and Products," was also successively published in 2015 and 2016.

U.S. FDA testing
The FDA, short for the Food and Drug Administration, is an executive agency of the U.S. government under the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Public Health Service (PHS). As a scientific management agency, the FDA's responsibility is to ensure the safety of food, cosmetics, drugs, biological products, medical devices, and radiological products produced or imported in the United States. It is one of the earliest federal agencies primarily focused on consumer protection. The agency is closely related to the lives of every American citizen. Internationally, the FDA is recognized as one of the largest food and drug regulatory agencies in the world. Many other countries seek and receive assistance from the FDA to promote and monitor the safety of their domestic products. The FDA certification commonly referred to is not a certification but a form of registration. The FDA does not issue certificates. Common FDA certification testing items for food contact materials include: organic coatings, metal and electroplated products requirements U.S. FDA CFR 21175.300.
