Blueair Classic 405 “Best in test” in independent laboratory testing of air purifiers

STOCKHOLM – September 26, 2017 – Among 12 different brands tested, Blueair Classic 405 has a “superior air purification capacity” according to Testfakta Research laboratory tests performed by independent accredited Intertek Testing & Certification and IBR Laboratories.

The world-leader in clean air solutions, Swedish Blueair, is once again recognized for its unique filtration technology, HEPASilent™, which removes 99.97% of all airborne particles down to 0.1 micron in size including pollen, smoke, dust, mold, spores, bacteria and pet allergens.

"The air purifier with by far the highest air cleaning capacity is the Blueair Classic 405", said Carl-Magnus Brandberg, Managing Director of Testfakta Research. "Even at lowest speed, Blueair manages to clean the air from dust and pollen in a space of 41 square metres, compared with 5-24 square metres for the other air purifiers tested".

About the test

Testfakta Research conducted comparative laboratory tests of air purifiers with the purpose of comparing the performance of air purifiers sold on the British and Nordic markets. The laboratory tests were performed by Intertek Testing & Certification and IBR Laboratories in the UK. The sample was selected by Testfakta Research on the basis of models suitable for a medium-sized room. The capacity was tested according to test standard ANSI/AHAM AC1-2015, measuring the capacity to eliminate various types of particles (dust and pollen). The 12 different models were tested on capacity at 37dB and at max speed. They were also tested for ease of use and ozone emissions. http://www.testfakta.com/test/which-air-purifier-to-buy-test-gives-answers/
