1、Designation: F3150 15Standard Specification forHEPA Filtration System Performance of Residential andCommercial Vacuum Cleaners1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3150; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisio

2、n, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification defines industry acceptable test meth-ods and approaches for evaluating residential

3、and commercialvacuum cleaner filtration systems to HEPA filtration perfor-mance levels.1.2 This specification defines the minimum filtration effi-ciency requirements for achieving HEPA performance forfiltration systems of residential and commercial vacuum clean-ers.1.3 This specification applies onl

4、y to residential and com-mercial vacuum cleaning products that are used in non-criticalapplications. Non-critical applications refers to applicationsnot requiring the removal of hazardous dust as defined per IEC60335-2-69.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if an

United States14.2 To determine if the population of the vacuum cleanermodel being tested meets the minimum filtration efficiencyrequirements for HEPA, each of the three sample units of agiven model shall be evaluated

16、by performing three test runs.The results from each test run of each sample unit must meetthe minimum filtration efficiency defined for HEPA establishedper Option 1 or 2 of this standard.5. Test Methods5.1 Two test options are available for determining whetheror not the filtration efficiency of a va

17、cuum cleaner achievesHEPA performance.5.1.1 Option 1A vacuum cleaner is defined as HEPA if itmeets both of the following criteria provided in Table 1 below.There are two steps required for this option.5.1.1.1 Step 1The primary filter is tested first per one ofthe cited standards (IEST or EN) listed

18、in Table 1 and found tocomply with the minimum HEPA efficiency requirements ascited by the respective standard. The test flow rate for this filtertesting must be the same flow rate as specified in Test MethodF1977 for the complete vacuum under test.5.1.1.2 Step 2The complete vacuum is to be tested p

19、erTest Method F1977 for leak testing, and the filtration efficiency(minus motor emissions) is found to be 99.97 % at the 0.3 to0.5 m particulate range.NOTE 1The rationale for this two-step definition is based on theIEST-RP-CC0001.5, Table E2, in which a HEPA vacuum is defined ashaving a filter that

20、meets HEPA class A, B, H, I, C, J, K and passes a leaktest with a mean size of 0.3 m per IEST-RP-CC0034.5.1.2 Option 2Avacuum cleaner is defined as HEPAif thecomplete vacuum is tested per Test Method F1977, butmodified for the particulate challenge and instrumentation ofone of the cited HEPA standar
