Specifications for Pleated Panel Filters, U.L. Class 2:
1.0 SCOPE
This specification covers pleated panel filters which are a component of Heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems.
2.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this specification is to establish performance criteria and identify physical properties that are pertinent and necessary for proper filter performance. Conformance to all items in the specifications is the responsibility of the bidder.
3.0 PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
3.1Filters of the size, air flow capacity and nominal efficiency shall meet the following rated performance specifications based on the ASHRAE 52.1-92 test method. Performance tolerance specified in Section 7.4 of the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) Standard 850-93 shall apply to the performance ratings. All testing is to be conducted on filters with a nominal 24" x 24" face dimension.
For information on specific sizes and/or efficiencies, call 1-888-223-2003, or email .

3.2 The supplier shall agree to have a representative make on-site inspections on a quarterly basis. The purpose of this inspection is to insure that the filters are functioning properly.
3.3 The filters shall be approved and Listed by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. Class 2 when tested according to U. L. Standard 900 and CAN 4-S111.
4.0 BID ATTACHMENTS
4.1 One (1) ASHRAE 52.1-1992 test report from an independent, commercially operated test lab or a test lab covered by an ISO 9000 quality/business system with documented operating procedures including an audited calibration system. The filter models tested must be acquired on the open market by the test lab. The supplier shall grant permission to the test lab which conducts the ASHRAE tests to verbally verify the test results to the purchaser on request.
5.0 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Each filter shall consist of a pleated media pack enclosed in a beverage board frame.
5.1 The media shall be a blend of polyester and cotton fibers.
5.2 An expanded metal grid shall be bonded to the media on the air leaving side.
5.3 The filter frame shall consist of two die-cut pieces of beverage board, one for the air entering side and one for the air leaving side. Each piece consists of a filter grid and four frame sides. When assembled, the two mating halves of the frame overlap one another providing double wall frame sides.
Beverage board is a high-strength, moisture-resistant clay coated Kraft board. The wet tear strength is approximately the same as its dry tear strength when tested in accordance with T414-OM-88 as published by TAPPI (Technical Association of Pulp and Paper Industry). The dry and wet tear strengths are determined by calculating the amount of weight required to tear a board sample after an initial cut is made in the sample. The wet tear strength of the board, after soaking in distilled water for two minutes, must be a minimum of 565 grams on the cross direction and 520 grams on the machine direction when tested per TAPPI T414.
6.0 PACKAGING AND IDENTIFICATION
Packaging shall provide adequate protection against damage or deterioration during shipment and allow complete identification of both the filters and the shipping container.
6.1 Each filter must be marked with the following:
6.1.1 Nominal filter size.
6.1.2 Means of identifying air flow direction of the filter when installed.
6.1.3 Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. official mark identifying a Class 2 classification.
6.1.4 Name of manufacturer.
6.2 Shipping containers must be marked with the following information:
6.2.1 The name or tradename of the product.
6.2.2 Nominal filter size.
6.2.3 Quantity of filters per carton.
6.2.4 Name of manufacturer.
7.0 APPROVED INTERNATIONAL QUALITY SYSTEM
7.1 The manufacturer shall have implemented, or be in process of implementing, an approved international quality system based on ISO 9000 at the facility manufacturing this product.
7.1.1 If manufacturer has implemented an approved international quality system, the manufacturer shall make available documentation showing third party certification of same.
7.1.2 If manufacturer is in process of implementing an approved international quality system, manufacturer shall submit evidence illustrating progress towards compliance. Evidence is defined as a timetable for implementation plus one or more operating procedures.
7.2 If requested, manufacturer shall make available their procedures describing the monitoring of their Approved Vendors List (AVL).
7.3 If requested, manufacturer shall make available a copy of their Corporate Quality Manual.
7.4 Manufacturer shall provide evidence of a corporate quality policy which must be signed by an officer of the company.
