Standard 185.1-2015 -- Method of Testing UV-C Lights for Use in Air-Handling Units or Air Ducts to Inactivate Airborne Microorganisms

Description

ASHRAE Standard 185.1 establishes a test method for evaluating the efficacy of UV-C lights for their ability to inactivate airborne microorganisms. The results of this standard are to be used to directly compare UVGI equipment on a standardized basis irrespective of their application. Results also give the design engineer an easy-to-use basis for specifying UV devices or estimating the relative performance of UVGI for a given application.
