The AHAM Verification Program for Portable Electric Room Air Cleaners

; ]2 e' [( }- h2 n I' R, C' gSince 1967, we've used outside labs to test products, and today you'll find AHAM verified ratings on a variety of appliances. This makes comparing products easier for you.% @" s# u5 X1 R- \* {+ m

All of the manufacturers listed in this directory voluntarily participate in the AHAM certification program for room air cleaners. This standardized measurement system known as the Clean Air Delivery Rate, or CADR - determines how well an air cleaner reduces pollutants such as tobacco smoke, dust and pollen.& y/ c# ]* Z1 D' T4 @$ Z! g7 q. {

From air cleaner to air cleaner, compare the CADR numbers listed next to each model number. First, look at suggested room size. Then refer to the tobacco smoke, dust and pollen CADR numbers. The higher the numbers, the faster the unit filters the pollutants out of the air. If from one unit to the other the ratings are the same, their air filtering performance is similar.

Participation in the Program is voluntary and is open to all manufacturers and firms who market private brand models.

Room Size Calculation

This formula is based on the CADR requirement to remove 80% of smoke particles, assuming one room air exchange per hour. Further information on this calculation can be obtained from AHAM.& ^. ?' J: i1 f

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires third-party verification that an air cleaner bearing the ENERGY STAR® label meets the requirements for dust CADR per watt and standby power. AHAM is an EPA recognized verification administrator providing verification testing for ENERGY STAR® models. All ENERGY STAR® models shown in this directory are required to meet the requirements of both AHAM and ENERGY STAR® verification testing.

The AHAM Portable Electric Room Air Cleaner Verification Mark is issued by AHAM to all manufacturers and private brand sellers of portable electric room air cleaners who are Licensees in the Program. Under terms of the Program, the manufacturer certifies that the CADR of all portable electric room air cleaners bearing this Mark are determined and accurately stated in accordance with the requirements of ANSI/AHAM Standard AC-1. The Verification Mark is required on all packaging of certified portable electric room air cleaners. Additionally, Program terms require that manufacturers display only CADR values for tobacco smoke, dust and pollen within the verification Mark. The Mark cannot imply verification of any other feature or performance factor. The use of ENERGY STAR® mark is administered by the EPA and the Department of Energy (DOE). While testing as part of the AHAM program does verify this rating, AHAM does not control use of the ENERGY STAR® mark.
