Helps to assure safe and comfortable air quality within commercial passenger air-carrier aircraft.

Since 2010, all portable indoor air cleaning devices sold to people or businesses in California are required to be certified by CARB. As of October 2020, electronic in-duct air cleaning devices are also subject to the regulation. To be certified, all air cleaners must be tested for electrical safety. Electronic air cleaners must also be tested for ozone emissions and meet an ozone emission concentration limit of 0.050 parts per million (50 ppb).

Provides minimum requirements for HVAC-related measures to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19, influenza, and other airborne viruses in homes, offices, schools, hospitals during periods of high risk.

Methods for quantitative testing of automated ultraviolet disinfection activities by direct illumination. Determination of bactericidal, mycobactericidal, sporicidal, yeasticidal, fungicidal, virucidal and phagocidal activities

Addresses the safety of portable and fixed (including duct-connected) electrostatic air cleaning equipment and ion generators.

This standard applies to new buildings or major renovations of, or additions to, existing buildings utilizing energy simulation during the design process. This standard does not apply to single-family houses, multi-family structures of three stories or fewer above grade, manufactured houses (mobile homes) and modular homes.

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is the Federal statute that governs the registration, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides in the United States.

Establishes minimum legionellosis risk management requirements for building water systems.

Safety testing for luminaires

These standard test procedures apply to software that simulate the performance of a building and its systems. While these standard test procedures cannot test all algorithms within a building performance simulation software, they can be used to indicate major flaws or limitations in capabilities.

The standard establishes a method of test for evaluating inroom devices and systems for microorganism removal or inactivation in a chamber.

Standard 185.2 establishes a testmethod to measure the intensity of ultraviolet (UV-C) lamps on irradiatedsurfaces under typical HVAC&R operating conditions. It also defines methodsof calculating and reporting results obtained from the test data.

ASHRAE Standard 185.1 establishes a test method to evaluate UV-C lamps for their ability to inactivate airborne ASHRAE Standard 185.1 establishes atest method to evaluate UV-C lamps for their ability to inactivate airbornemicroorganisms. It defines procedures for generating test bioaerosols and forsampling upstream and downstream of the UV-C lamp.In addition, the standard establishesperformance specifications for test equipment, quality assurance standards, andmethods of calculating and reporting results from the test data.This method of test may also be usedto test air-cleaning devices that do not use ultraviolet technology if thedevice being tested can be installed in the testing duct system as described.Test reports should note that results were from a modified test and include thespecific device tested and modifications made to the method.

This standard covers electric, air-to-air, space-conditioning appliances that include a refrigerant-to-water desuperheater and have rated cooling capacities of less than 65,000 Btu/h.

Governs installed UVC luminaires for electrical and safety compliance

Covers portable germicidal equipment for use in households and similar environments households and similar environments

Gives guidance for evaluating the photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems including luminaires. Specifically it specifies the exposure limits, reference measurement technique and classification scheme for the evaluation and control of photobiological hazards from all electrically powered incoherent broadband sources of optical radiation, including LEDs but excluding lasers, in the wavelength range from 200 nm through 3000 nm.

This standard establishes tests and acceptance criteria for application of rulesets and related reporting for building performance models.

RP44 was prepared by the IES Photobiology Committee to better inform all interested lighting specialists as well as those responsible for infectious disease control.

Specifies minimum human safety requirements for the use of UVC lamp devices. It is applicable to in-duct UVC systems, upper-air in room UVC systems, portable in-room disinfection UVC devices, and any other UVC devices which may cause UVC exposure to humans.

Standard 62.1 specifies minimum ventilation rates and other measures intended to provide indoor air quality (IAQ) that?s acceptable to human occupants and that minimizes adverse health effects.

Standard 62.2, ASHRAE?S consensus residential ventilation and IAQ standard for dwelling units with nontransient occupants, has been updated for 2022. The standard describes the minimum requirements to achieve acceptable IAQ via dwelling-unit ventilation, local mechanical exhaust, and source control.
