In-Lab Industrial Air Analysis

What is ISO 8573-1?

Specifications & guidelines that ensure highest quality for materials, products, processes, and services across industries created by the International Standards Organization (ISO)

Compressed air is used in more than 70% of all manufacturing activities

ISO 8573-1:2010 is the standard related to Industrial Compressed Air purity testing of compressed air for particles & vapors

What you need to know: 9 classes, noted in a 3-digit code,
