AAF Filter Testing & Certification: Guaranteed Performance, Trusted Compliance
In controlled environments such as cleanrooms, pharmaceutical manufacturing zones, operating rooms, and electronics production lines, having the right filter is only half the battle. To ensure optimal performance, regulatory compliance, and operational safety, filters must be tested, certified, and validated according to internationally recognized standards.
That’s where AAF Filter Testing & Certification comes in. As a global leader in air filtration technology, AAF International not only manufactures world-class filters but also provides comprehensive testing and certification services that ensure every filter installed in your facility performs precisely as specified.
Whether you need a HEPA leak test, performance verification, or traceable documentation for audits, AAF delivers the clean air confidence that your process and people deserve.
✅ Why Filter Testing & Certification Matters
Even the best filter can fail if:
-
It’s damaged during shipment or installation
-
It’s not properly sealed in the housing or terminal module
-
Its performance degrades over time
-
It’s not tested to international standards required by auditors or customers
Regular filter testing and certification help to:
-
🛡️ Ensure system integrity and safety
-
📋 Maintain compliance with ISO, GMP, FDA, WHO, and EN standards
-
🧪 Validate HEPA/ULPA performance
-
🧠 Optimize airflow and reduce energy waste
-
✅ Provide audit-ready documentation
🧪 Types of AAF Filter Testing Services
🔹 HEPA & ULPA Leak Testing (PAO/DOP Test)
-
Tests for leaks in HEPA filters and their installation seals
-
Uses aerosol challenge (e.g., PAO or DOP) and photometer scanning
-
Conforms to EN1822, ISO 29463, IEST-RP-CC-034.1, and GMP Annex 1
🔹 Filter Efficiency Testing
-
Confirms particulate capture efficiency (e.g., ≥99.97% for H13 filters)
-
Tested using most penetrating particle size (MPPS ~0.1–0.3 microns)
-
ISO 16890, EN1822, ASHRAE 52.2 compliant
🔹 Airflow & Pressure Drop Testing
-
Measures actual resistance (Pa) across filter at rated airflow
-
Verifies fan performance, energy efficiency, and system balancing
🔹 AMC (Airborne Molecular Contaminant) Monitoring
-
Detects harmful gases (SO₂, NH₃, VOCs, Cl₂, etc.)
-
Used in data centers, semiconductor fabs, and chemical labs
-
Integrated with AAF’s SAAFShield® system
🔹 Integrity Testing for Cleanroom Filters
-
Ensures that terminal HEPA filters are free from leaks
-
Often required in ISO Class 5–8 environments
🔹 On-Site Validation & Reporting
-
Technicians perform testing in live environments
-
Includes calibration, test setup, execution, and full documentation
