Class 0 certified oil-free air
TÜV Rheinland Certification
Ensuring quality and compliance in compressed air systems
Overview of the certification
The TÜV Rheinland certification, issued by TÜV Rheinland Energy & Environment GmbH, validates the performance of the Atlas Copco ZR/ZT/ZH/ZE/ZA compressors according to ISO 8573-1: 2010 Part 1, which pertains to contaminants and purity classes. This certification is crucial for industries that need high-quality compressed air. This includes- but not limited to- pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and electronics manufacturing.
Testing and validation process
The certification process involved a series of meticulous tests conducted on the Atlas Copco Z compressors. The tests were designed to determine there are no traces of oil in the compressed air stream, ensuring that it meets the stringent requirements set by ISO 8573-1: 2010 Part 1 and ISO 8573-3: 2018 Part 2 and 5, which outlines the test methods for measuring aerosols, oil vapour and VoC’s.
The tests were caried out without any cooling or oil removal devices in between the compressor and the measuring point.
Key Findings: no traces of downstream oil contamination
The key finding from the tests was that the measurement showed no traces of oil in the compressed air stream. This indicates that the Atlas Copco Z compressor line avoids having any risk of oil contamination in the air, ensuring that the compressed air meets the highest standards of air quality.
Certification and compliance
TÜV Rheinland certified that the air quality from the Atlas Copco Z compressors are "Class 0" Oil-free. This is based on test results and follows ISO 8573-1: 2010 Part 1. This classification shows the highest level of air purity. This makes the Z compressors ideal for industrial applications that need very clean and Oil-free compressed air.
Conclusion: Class 0 for oil with a Z compressor
The TÜV Rheinland certification for the Atlas Copco Z compressor shows how important testing is. It helps ensure the air quality and reliability of industrial compressed air systems. By following international standards, Atlas Copco shows its commitment to offering high-quality solutions for different industries.
This certification boosts the credibility of the Z compressors. It also assures customers of its great performance and compliance with global standards.
