ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 161-2023
Air Quality within Commercial Aircraft
Defines the requirements for air quality in air-carrier aircraft and specifies methods for measurement and testing in order to establish compliance with the standard. Applies to commercial passenger air-carrier aircraft carrying 20 or more passengers and certified under Title 14 CFR Part 25 1. Considers chemical, physical, and biological contaminants as well as moisture, temperature, pressure, and other factors that may affect air quality. Because this standard cannot take into account every variable, especially those relating to safe operation of the aircraft, the diversity of sources and types of contaminants in aircraft cabin air, and the range of susceptibility in the population, compliance with this standard will not necessarily ensure acceptable aircraft cabin air quality for everyone.
