Test method for assessing the performance of gas-phase air cleaning media and devices for general ventilation - Part 1: Gas-phase air cleaning media (ISO 10121-1:2014)

This document outlines the technical procedures for evaluating the performance of materials and equipment designed to clean gaseous pollutants from ventilation systems. The scope covers air purification substances that are integrated into general ventilation units, ensuring they effectively remove contaminants such as volatile organic compounds and other gases. The methodology provides a structured framework for testing, enabling consistent assessment across different products and manufacturers. It defines specific conditions under which the efficiency of these purification components is measured, including parameters related to airflow, pollutant concentration, and exposure duration. By adhering to these guidelines, stakeholders can obtain reliable data regarding the operational capabilities of air cleaning materials. The document serves as a reference for quality assurance processes in the HVAC industry, facilitating comparisons between various technologies without specifying exact commercial applications or brand names. It ensures that the evaluation of gaseous pollutant removal capabilities is conducted under standardized conditions, promoting uniformity in performance reporting and safety assessments within the ventilation sector.
