It has not been processedaccording to the ANSI requirements for a standard andmay contain material that has not been subject t
46、o publicreview or a consensus process. Unresolved objectors oninformative material are not offered the right to appeal atASHRAE or ANSI.)INFORMATIVE ANNEX ALIMITATIONSThe results of the test do not predict performance over servicelife. The equipment provider is expected to give a potentialuser some
47、estimate of the service life characteristics of thedevice for a specified set of expected operating conditions.ASHRAE does not actually test ultraviolet (UV) systemsor determine their performance but promulgates the test pro-cedure used by manufacturers and independent testing labora-tories.UV-C dev
48、ice testing in a laboratory is intended to helpthe user compare the performance of different types of UVsystems. Testing attempts to simulate the performance of UV-C devices in real-life operation but cannot duplicate field con-ditions. Field conditions vary from location to location. Thereporting v
49、alues obtained in accordance with this standardcannot be used by themselves to predict the cleanliness of aspecific HVAC component or the service life of installed UV-C devices.Users of the method will need to determine if their partic-ular device requires specialized testing conditions; however,the general approach described here should be applicable tomost technologies. If the performance of multiple technolo-gies is to be compared, then the test lab needs to standardizeall variables of the test plan.ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 185.2-2014 7(T
