What is BS EN 16846-1 - Photocatalysis about?
BS EN 16846-1 is the first part of the multi series standard that describes the methodologies to be used in a laboratory airtight chamber to test a prototype or commercial air cleaner systems with a maximum flow rate of 1,000 m3/h used for photocatalytic indoor air remediation.
BS EN 16846-1 is applicable to the treatment of atmospheres that are representative of the air inside buildings and workplaces. This protocol is applicable solely to photocatalytic systems alone or to combined systems that include a photocatalytic function.
The photocatalytic function is demonstrated by verifying the mineralization of model VOCs to form CO2.
Who is BS EN 16846-1 - Photocatalysis for?
BS EN 16846-1 on stationary waste emissions is relevant to:
- Product Engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Manufacturers and industries using air purifiers
- Researchers and scientists
- Environmentalists
Why should you use BS EN 16846-1 - Photocatalysis?
Photocatalytic devices used for the elimination of VOC and odour in indoor air in active mode. BS EN 16846-1 specifies methods and procedures for determining the efficiency of photocatalytic devices, which help reduce the amounts of VOCs and odours in the air by using photocatalysis in active mode.
BS EN 16846-1 provides batch mode and mineralization tests, along with continuous monitoring of CO2 levels that benefit users by allowing them to track measurements of CO2 and analyse product reactions. Overall, by removing toxins in air through heavy chambers fitted with photocatalytic devices and eliminating odour, the end-user will be able to enjoy improved indoor air quality and harmonize it. This in turn will improve health.
