АШРАЭ 52.2 is a widely used standard for evaluating the performance of air filters used in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (ОВиК) системы. The standard defines procedures for measuring the particle removal efficiency of filters and classifying them according to the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (МЕРВ).
“The MERV rating helps users compare filter performance in removing particles of different sizes.”
MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. The MERV rating indicates how effectively a filter removes particles from the air across several particle size ranges. АШРАЭ 52.2 evaluates filtration efficiency using three particle size groups:
| Диапазон размеров частиц | Typical Sources |
| 0.3 – 1 мкм | fine dust, smoke |
| 1 – 3 мкм | bacteria, fine particles |
| 3 – 10 мкм | pollen, mold spores |
The standard defines a controlled test method to evaluate filter performance. Key elements of the test include:
The results are used to determine the MERV classification.
Electrostatic Discharge and Appendix J
Some filters rely on electrostatic charge to enhance particle capture. АШРАЭ 52.2 includes Appendix J, which introduces a conditioning procedure to reduce electrostatic charge before testing. This process helps ensure that filter performance reflects long-term operating conditions rather than temporary electrostatic effects.

Reliable and repeatable testing conditions are essential to ensure accurate MERV classification results. АШРАЭ 52.2 testing is widely used for evaluating filters used in ventilation systems. Manufacturers and laboratories use the standard to:
Filtration testing systems designed for ASHRAE 52.2 procedures typically support:
These systems enable laboratories and manufacturers to perform reliable filter verification according to international standards.
