Comprehensive Guide to EN 779/A1 Additional Testing for HVAC Filters Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
Standard-Related Information
EN 779/A1 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for air filters used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The standard provides a framework for testing the performance of these filters, ensuring they meet specific standards of efficiency and effectiveness.
The standard is developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization), a non-profit organization responsible for creating technical standards for Europe. EN 779/A1 is part of a larger family of standards related to air filtration, including EN 1822-1, which covers the classification and testing of particulate air filters.
In addition to European standards, other international organizations such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) also develop standards related to HVAC filters. These standards are widely adopted across industries, ensuring consistency and comparability of test results.
