AHAM Verifide

It's #FilterFriday! Thanks to a new AHAM Verifide® program designed to test and verify the performance of replacement air filters, millions of people who rely on portable room air cleaners to improve their indoor air quality now have a way to know their air cleaner filters will perform as they should. AHAM Verifide launched the program in response to growing concerns about poorly performing replacement filters being purchased online. Regular replacement of room air cleaner filters is an essential part of product care and maintenance. But when it comes time to replace the filter, consumers face hundreds of both brand-name and off-brand options. Unfortunately, not all of them deliver a performance equal to that of the original filter, which could compromise the air cleaner’s performance and the user’s indoor air quality.

A HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter can remove at least 99.97 % of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and any airborne particles with a size of 0.3 microns and larger. Knowledge of HEPA can help consumers better understand an air cleaner’s capabilities and choose an appropriate model for their needs, but misconceptions about what constitutes a HEPA filter can cause confusion. AHAM's white paper, HEPA Filtration – Discussion on Test Methods and Ratings, explores different test standards, multiple test conditions, and HEPA designations.
