ISO 16890 the global filtration standard is due to be published in 2016 and could replace ASHRAE 52.2 as the air filtration laboratory test method. What is ISO 16890, how does it work and how does it affect ASHRAE Standards (62.1, 62.2, 90, 170, etc), members, users and the industry?
1 How Do ISO 16890 and ASHRAE 52.2 Compare?

Bruce McDonald, P.Eng., Consultant |
This presentation dissects the major differences in the test methods and protocols of ASHRAE 52.2 and the soon to be published ISO 16890. These air filtration test methods use similar equipment, but handle their respective data products very differently. These differences can and will have some impact on other ASHRAE Standards, industry standards, and customer specifications. Thus, understanding these differences beforehand is very important to users and specifiers of air filtration equipment.
2 Impact of ISO 16890 on ASHRAE Standards and Guidelines

It is very likely that ISO 16890 will be published in 2016 and replace the EN779 in Europe. With a more globalized world this standard will also affect the evaluation of filter performance in the US, but how does this standard affect standards and guidelines published by ASHRAE? In this work, we will discuss: Which ASHRAE standards reference to ASHRAE 52.2 and would be affected if 52.2 was replaced by ISO 16890? What are the effects on filter manufacturers, filter laboratories and users of filtration products?
