The ANSI/AHAM AC-1-2020 standard, developed jointly by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the White Goods Manufacturers Association (AHAM), defines a uniform, repeatable standard test method for measuring certain product characteristics of household portable air cleaners. Such standard methods provide a means to compare and evaluate different makes and models of portable household air cleaners based on features important to product use.r.
This standard method is valid for portable household type electric room air cleaners defined in the standard. It contains the definitions and safety features of the specified type of portable household electric room air cleaners. This test method measures the relative reduction of particulate matter suspended in the air in the test chamber by the air cleaner. It also provides a test method to measure the operating power and standby power of the air cleaner. In addition, the mentioned standard has defined measurability limits based on the statistical accuracy of various test methods. This standard applies only to air cleaners with the following minimum fresh air delivery ratio (CADR) rating:
Maximum fresh air delivery rate (CADR) values are determined according to theoretical maximum limits. The theoretical maximum limits are determined by the initial maximum number of particles present, the minimum acceptable number of particles present, an average background natural decay rate, the size of the test chamber, and the minimum test time available. This standard applies only to air cleaners with the following maximum fresh air delivery rate rating:
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, aims to measure the performance of portable household electric room air cleaners within the scope of ANSI/AHAM AC-1-2020 standard. It also provides testing services.
