Galvamet_Plasmafilter: integrated air purification technology

How is odor reduction measured?

The task of the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC, based in Geneva, is to define the safety standards for member countries, including all industrially developed nations. The countries, like ours, which are part of the European Economic Community, belong to CENELEC (Comité Européen de Normalization Électrotechnique) whose main purpose is to have the IEC international standards adopted by the member countries or to agree on common amendments. The representative body of our country, at the international headquarters of IEC and CENELEC, is the Italian Electrotechnical Committee, CEI, which has been entrusted with the institutional task of a regulatory body. The main purpose of the CEI standards is to achieve standardization, normalization of practices in such a way that the performance of the equipment put on the market can be correctly compared to each other. The CEI EN 61591 standard is the reference of methods for measuring the performance of cooker hoods for domestic use. Tested according to this standard, Galvamet cooker hoods with Plasma filter achieve an efficiency in odors reduction by 95%.
