ISO/TS 11155-1:2001

Road vehicles - Air filters for passenger compartments - Part 1 : test for particulate filtration

This part of ISO/TS 11155 specifies a particulate filtration test, including the critical characteristics of equipment,

test procedure and report format, for the consistent assessment of filter elements in a laboratory test rig with

particle sizes larger than 0,3 μm. It is applicable to filters for removing particulate matter from external or

recirculated air used for ventilating motor vehicle passenger compartments or cabins.

The test specified in this part of ISO/TS 11155 enables an assessment of filter elements for pressure loss,

fractional filtration efficiency and accelerated particulate holding capability against standardized laboratory

particulate challenges. Because the test methods exclude the full range of possible particulate challenges and

environmental effects, the relative ranking of filters may change in service.

NOTE 1 Absolute comparability is only possible with filter elements of the same shape and size as well as the same position

in the test duct.

NOTE 2 Subject to agreement between supplier and the customer, the test procedure allows for the calculation of

gravimetric efficiency as a single parameter for quality control purposes. For gravimetric efficiency tests refer to ISO 5011.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
