UL 2908:2017-10 Environmental Claim Validation Procedure (ECVP) for Determining Particle Removal for Non-Filter Electrical Appliances. 2.1 This protocol is applicable to validation of particle removal performance of electrical appliances using non-filter technologies. such as plasma air purifiers in households, offices, etc. 3 Normative References 3.1 The following standard is referenced in this Environmental Claim Validation Procedure. JEM 1467-2103 Air Cleaners of Household and Similar Use 4 Terms and Definitions 4.1 For the purpose of this procedure, the following definitions apply. 4.2 CLEAN AIR DELIVERY RATE (CADR) — Defined as the measure of the delivery of contaminant free air by a portable household electric room air cleaner, expressed in cubic meter per minutes (cfm). More technically, clean air delivery rates are the rates of contaminant reduction in the test chamber when the unit is turned on. minus the rate of natural decay when the unit is not running, times the volume of the test chamber as measured in cubic feet. CADRs are always the measurement of a unit’s performance as a complete system, and they have no linear relationship to air movement per se or to the characteristics of any particular particle removal methodology.

A test room larger than 32 m3 may be used if it is available and considered appropriate for the product to be tested (i.e....
