Specifications for Extended Surface Air Filters, Supported Pleat Type, Antimicrobial Treated, U.L. Class 2:
1.0 SCOPE
This specification covers extended surface supported pleated 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
3.1 Filters 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"x24" face dimension.
For information on specific sizes and/or efficiencies, call 1-888-223-2003, or email .

3.2 The filters shall be approved and Listed by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. Class 2 when tested according to U. L. Standard 900 and CAN 4-5111.
3.3 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.
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.
4.2 One (1) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Technical Data Sheet for the antimicrobial treatment, dated and accepted by the EPA, indicating approval for use in air filters to be used in furnaces, air conditioners, air purification devices, automobiles and recirculating air handling systems.
5.0 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Each filter shall consist of a pleated media pack contained in a beverage board die cut frame. The filters shall be capable of operating at temperatures up to 150 degrees Fahrenheight. The filters must either fit without modification or be adaptable to the existing holding frames. If adaptors are required, they must be included in the total bid price and notation of this requirement made on the bid form.
5.1 Size
The filters shall be supplied with the following nominal dimensions (width x height x depth):
______________ ______________ ______________ ______________
5.2 Frame
The frame shall be made of high wet strength beverage board. The two mating die cut boxes shall be bonded together to contain the pleated media pack. The inside of the filter frame shall be bonded to the pleated media pack on all four sides and at all points of contact across the front and rear faces of the filter.
5.3 Media
The media shall be made of micro glass fibers with a water repellent binder. The media shall be a dual density construction, with coarser fibers on the air entering side and finer fibers on the air leaving side.
5.4 Separators
The media shall be pleated using separators made of beads of adhesive.
5.5 Each filter shall be protected by a broad spectrum (Gram-positive bacteria, Gram- negative bacteria and fungi, including mold and mildew) antimicrobial registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the express purpose of, and technical data sheet approval for, use in air filter products.
5.6 The antimicrobial shall:
(1) contain no arsenic and no heavy metals: no tin, no lead, no mercury, no copper, no zinc;
(2) be non-halogenated: no fluorine, no bromide, no chlorine, no iodine;
(3) contain no formaldehyde;
(4) be non-phenolic
(5) be low water soluble of 50 ppm or less (to not wash out of products);
(6) have a vapor pressure of 12 mmHg or less at 27 C (to not off-gas from products at a level greater that acceptable standards);
(7) have an oral LD50 toxicity rating of 2.3 grams/kg or greater.
(8) be incorporated into the filter media not sprayed on topically.
(9) have no solvent delivery systems (i.e. no methanol, ethanol or other organic solvent).
5.7 Independent test laboratory data shall be available using the GLP criteria to verify no detectable off-gassing or active antimicrobial ingredient at detectable limits of the analytical equipment.
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 The name or tradename of the product.
6.1.2 Rated average ASHRAE efficiency.
6.1.3 Nominal filter size.
6.1.4 Means of identifying air flow direction of the filter when installed.
6.1.5 Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. official mark identifying a Class 2 classification.
6.1.6 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 Rated average ASHRAE efficiency.
6.2.3 Nominal filter size.
6.2.4 Quantity of filters per carton.
6.2.5 Name of manufacturer.
7.0 APPROVED INTERNATIONAL QUALITY SYSTEM
7.1The 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.
