本文件规定了一种方法，用于评估便携式家用空气滤清器在特定室内降低关键实验生成的生物气溶胶的浓度和活性的能力。该测试适用于单室空间中常用的便携式空气滤清器，例如基于机械过滤、紫外线（UV）、电离器、光催化氧化和臭氧发生器的装置技术。如果空气滤清器未声称具有减少微生物的功能，则本标准可能不适用，除非其仅用于评估性能。 注:ANS/ASHRAE 185.3用于商业和工业用途。ANS/AHAM AC-5用于便携式家用空气滤清器，无意与商业或工业消费者的标准冲突或取代该标准。注:在本标准中，我们不建议采用性能测试方法来测量微生物之间或空气滤清器与本标准中测试的微生物之间相互作用的副产品。副产物的形成是一个重要课题。副产品测量的主题正在研究中，AHAM将在未来的文件中解决这一问题。 注:本标准不适用于医疗场所使用的器具，如手术室、实验室、医疗室等。

This document specifies a method to evaluate the capability of portable household air cleaners to reduce the concentration and viability of key experimentally-generated bioaerosols in a specified chamber.The test is applicable to portable air cleaners commonly used in single room spaces such as those based on mechanical filtration, ultraviolet (UV), ionizers, photocatalytic oxidation, and ozone generators in-unit technology.If the air cleaner does not claim to have the function of reducing microorganisms, this standard may not be applicable unless it is being used to simply evaluate the performance.Note: ANS/ASHRAE 185.3 is for commercial and industrial uses. ANS/AHAM AC-5 is used for Portable Household Air Cleaners and is not intended to conflict with or replace that standard for commercial or industrial consumers.Note: In this standard, we do not suggest performance test methods that measure the by-products of either the interaction between microbes or between the air cleaner and the microbes tested in this standard. The formation of by-products is an important subject. The subject of measuring by-products is under study, and AHAM will address this in future documents.Note: This standard does not apply to appliances intended for use in medical treatment locations, such as surgical suites, laboratories, medical treatment rooms, etc.
