Tests for general, structural, mechanical and functional properties of laboratory, high efficiency air, automotive and industrial filter papers and filter papers for diagnostic applications.

This British Standard describes methods of test for filter papers made by the papermaking process.

NOTE 1 Some of the test methods may also apply to filter media made by other processes.

NOTE 2 Appendix A gives further information on the types of filter paper to which these test methods are applicable.

NOTE 3 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on page 32.
