ISO 16890-3:2016规定了用于测量一般通风的空气过滤器的重量效率和耐气流的测试设备和测试方法。 它适用于ISO 16890 - 1，ISO 16890 - 2和ISO 16890 - 4。 ISO 16890本部分描述的试验方法适用于0,25 m3/s（900 m3/h，530 ft3/min）和1,5 m3/s（5 400 m3/h，3 178 ft3/min），指的是名义面积为610 mm×610 mm（24 in×24 in）的试验台。 ISO 16890（所有部分）是指根据ISO 16890（所有部分）中规定的程序进行测试时，通用通风的微粒空气过滤元件具有小于或等于99％的ePM1效率和超过20％的ePM10效率。 通过其他适用的测试方法评估该气溶胶组分之外的空气过滤元件。参见ISO 29463（所有部分）。 便携式空气净化器中使用的过滤元件不在ISO 16890本部分的范围之内。 根据ISO 16890（所有部分）获得的性能结果本身不能定量应用于在效率和寿命方面预测使用中的性能

ISO 16890-3:2016 specifies the test equipment and the test methods used for measuring the gravimetric efficiency and resistance to air flow of air filter for general ventilation. It is intended for use in conjunction with ISO 16890‑1, ISO 16890‑2 and ISO 16890‑4. The test method described in this part of ISO 16890 is applicable for air flow rates between 0,25 m3/s (900 m3/h, 530 ft3/min) and 1,5 m3/s (5 400 m3/h, 3 178 ft3/min), referring to a test rig with a nominal face area of 610 mm × 610 mm (24 in × 24 in). ISO 16890 (all parts) refers to particulate air filter elements for general ventilation having an ePM1 efficiency less than or equal to 99 % and an ePM10 efficiency greater than 20 % when tested as per the procedures defined within ISO 16890 (all parts). Air filter elements outside of this aerosol fraction are evaluated by other applicable test methods. See ISO 29463 (all parts). Filter elements used in portable room-air cleaners are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 16890. The performance results obtained in accordance with ISO 16890 (all parts) cannot by themselves be quantitatively applied to predict performance in service with regard to efficiency and lifetime.
