Who should attend

Engineering/maintenance staff who are responsible for the testing, validation and changing of HEPA filters Installed in biocontainment air handling systems.

Requirements and qualifications

Participants will be expected to have the basic knowledge of HEPA filtration. Understanding of testing and validation would be advantageous but is not essential.

Course description

The course is designed to provide an understanding of HEPA filters, from their background and grading, to testing and handling, and onward to changing and disposal. Covering both the volumetric and face-scanning methods of testing to standards EN 1822-1 and BS EN ISO 14644-3:2019. There is also a practical element to this course, giving hands on experience of testing and changing a filter under containment conditions, using our purpose-built training rig.
