General ISO 16890 : Indoor Air Quality – Optimal Air Filtration According to ISO 16890

ISO 16890 evaluates air filters based on their effectiveness against particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) and has replaced EN 779 since 2018. Outdoor air is classified into ODA categories, while indoor air quality is defined using SUP categories, depending on the building’s purpose. The appropriate filter class is determined by combining both categories. This approach allows for targeted improvement of indoor air and reduces health risks from fine dust. It is important to note that an efficient filter should also be energy-optimized to keep operating costs low.
