At Filtrete™, we design air filters to capture a wide variety of airborne particles. Filtrete™ Air Filters not only meet (+ go above and beyond) the MERV industry standard, but also the requirements set by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) and Allergy Standards (ASL). The Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification mark isn’t just a label; it’s a seal of approval that means you’re investing in a product designed to capture allergens. We’re all about giving you peace of mind that with every breath, you’re surrounded by cleaner indoor air.
With Asthma & Allergy Friendly® certification, you can feel confident knowing our Filtrete™ Air Filters are rigorously tested and proven to effectively capture allergens and enhance indoor air quality. With so many products on the market making claims about allergen control, it can be challenging for consumers to know which ones truly deliver. That's why the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification is invaluable — it guides you toward making informed choices rooted in science and reliability.
Certification is based on product testing; every certified product is tested to strict standards, ensuring it maintains performance even when the filter is loaded with dust and allergens.
It goes beyond testing overall indoor air quality by focusing on what triggers asthma and allergies. Certification testing includes cat allergens, dust mite allergens, pollen, and micro-particles.
Products are tested at a range of third-party labs; the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® certification can be trusted to be independent.
