AS 16890 is Australia’s adaptation of the ISO 16890 air filter standard. It classifies filters based on their efficiency at capturing PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 particles, aligning with public health and environmental metrics.
Unlike the global version, AS 16890 mandates that test results come from ILAC-accredited labs (like NATA), ensuring verified, transparent performance data. For schools, hospitals, and commercial HVAC systems, it’s a reliable way to compare filter effectiveness using recognised test methods — with results you can trust.
