The devices must operate at 220/240V, 50/60 Hz, and feature a European 'Schuko' Type F plug. Essential specifications include a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of at least 240 CFM, True HEPA filtration that captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, low noise levels (maximum 40 dB on low and 60 dB on high), and replaceable filters rather than permanent ones. The air cleaners must be portable, require no assembly, and adhere to ozone emission limits as defined by UL Standard 867 and California regulations. Products should also hold ENERGY STAR® certification. The proposal outlines two categories of air cleaners: medium cleaners effective for spaces between 200-400 square feet and large cleaners for 400-600 square feet. Proposed models must have a lifecycle that supports the duration of the contract. This document forms part of federal procurement aimed at ensuring safe and effective indoor air quality solutions across European facilities.
