Overview
EN ISO 23875:2022/prA1:2023 (ISO 23875:2021/Amd 1:2022) is an amendment to the international standard for air quality control systems for operator enclosures in mining. It updates performance requirements and test methods for HVAC systems and filters used to protect operators in enclosed cabs and control rooms. The amendment focuses on filter identification, performance information, and clarifies installation and test-related wording.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Removal of ISO 29463 references: The amendment deletes references to the ISO 29463 series (high-efficiency filter classification) and removes related “classification” wording from clauses and tables.
- Filter marking and identification (new/updated requirement): external and recirculation air filters must be marked with:
- Manufacturer name, trademark or identifier
- Model/part number and lot number
- Reference to ISO 23875:2021
- Filter efficiency on airborne particulate of mass mean diameter 0.3 µm to 0.5 µm (expressed as % at specified particle size)
- Nominal air volume flow rate used for the filter test
- Differential pressure sampled value used for the filter test
- Machine-readable optical labels (e.g., matrix barcodes) are recommended to enable retrieval of filter data.
- Performance guidance: The amendment notes that filtration efficiencies above 94% at 0.3–0.5 µm at nominal flow rate have been found effective for intake air leakage and decay-time performance testing.
- Installation and handling: Instructions reinforced to install new external and recirculation filters per the updated marking requirements, and to avoid damaging filters during unpacking and handling.
- Editorial updates: Deletions of “classification(s)” terminology in tables and clauses and removal of related text in Annex B to align with the new marking/efficiency approach.
Practical applications
- Filter selection, procurement and labeling for operator enclosures (cabs, cabins, control rooms) in mining and quarrying operations.
- Performance testing and acceptance procedures for HVAC systems protecting operators from particulates and contaminated ambient air.
- Maintenance and replacement protocols to ensure filter integrity and traceability (using specified markings and recommended machine-readable labels).
- Specification language for OEMs, equipment purchasers, and contract tenders to ensure filters meet documented test conditions.
Who should use this standard
- Mining equipment manufacturers and OEMs
- Mine site safety and environmental engineers
- Filter and HVAC suppliers for mining applications
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
- Procurement teams specifying operator-enclosure air quality controls

(Note: references to the ISO 29463 filter-classification series were removed by this amendment; filter performance must now be stated directly on the product label.)
